I have been using a 30 G HDD as a USB drive for some time without
problems but today when I tried to copy a 4 G compressed file to it I
got the message that there was insufficient space. There was 13 G of
free space. I ran Norton System Works 2006 Disk Doctor with the free
space box checked and Microsoft disk check disk but I still get the
same message.

Thanks

Sounds like it's formatted as fat32 not ntfs, fat32 has a 4gig max file
size limit.
