I have a Belkin Hi-speed USB 2.0 card attached to my Dell
laptop running Windows 2000 Professional. I have an Iomega
external 120 GB drive attached to the USB card. The drive
has only a couple of files on it so far. I find that
although I can copy any number of 390GB files onto the
HDD, I cannot copy one 4.2GB file -- the error I get is
There is not enough free disk space.

So is there some limit to the size of file that can be
copied using Win 2000 driver for USB2.0?

What file system is on the external drive? If it's FAT32
that's the problem. The maximum file size on a FAT32
partition is 4 GB.
