    Ok, yet another question...

    I just copied armoured core nexus-both disc-into one 5.50GB archive (7zipped) and tried to move it into my external drive...

    I can add more files to this drive-but for some reason the biggest I ever had to move won't move (before that it was just 3gb at the most).

    Why can't I move in this file-it's a 1tb Verbatim external drive?

    And use-it is NOT full-and all other file systems work-just not moving this file in.

    Have you tired unplugging the external hard drive and reconnecting it back to the computer?

    The maximum file size for a FAT32 drive is 4GB. The maximum file size for a FAT16 drive is 2GB.

    NTFS has an extremely large limit to file size. Most PCs these days use NTFS for their HDD. Your external HDD is likely FAT32.
