I've got a 16GB pen drive but when I tried to drag a 10GB file on there it said there wasn't enough space. I've reformatted the drive and it still comes up as having 15.2GB of free space??

The largest file I can drag on to it is about 4GB. I seem to remember a RAM issue not so long about 32-bit XP PCs only being able to see up to 4GB of RAM because that was the limit of their addressing. Is this whats causing it?

How can I copy my file?

4GB is the maximum file size of the FAT filesystem. You'll need to format the drive as NTFS.
 
Thanks, but the format drop down only allows FAT32. And if I format it as NTFS will I still be able to move files between two PCs that are both running 32-bit XP?
