I have a 4GB Virtual Machine file I'd like to get off of my computer entirely, and right now (at least till tomorrow) I have only an 8GB flash drive. According to the Windows 10 Storage Settings UI, the flash drive has used 320MB of 7.58GB.
However when I try to copy, I get:
The file 'box-disk1.vmdk' is too large for the destination file system.
box-disk1.vmdk
Type: Virtual Machine Disk Format
Size: 4.76GB
I cannot zip the file first either, since I only have 300MB left on my C drive, and when I try it says "The disk may be full"
Is there any solution to this with the resources I have today?
-- UPDATE --
The answer is yes, but just barely.
I first had to move the 320MB of files off of the desired USB flash drive, and since I had no disk space on C, moved it instead to another USB flash drive (that barely had room).
Then I followed (carefully) these directions: http://www.ntfs.com/quest22.htm
Then moved the 320M of files back to the new NTFS format, and then successfully copied over my Virtual Machine file.
Moral of the story: FAT32 takes a 4GB max file size, be careful
