You need to have the 2nd Hard drive formatted in the NTSF Format..It's probably in FAT format.. FAT formatted Discs can't handle anything over 1 GB or so..I had the same problem, got the same error.. Was because the HD disc I was trying to transfer stuff to was in FAT Format...

What RDS1955 said. Actually its FAT32 and it does not support files over 4GB (thats individual file exceeding 4GB). The hard drive needs to be using the NTFS file system. Use Computer Managment under Control Panel to format as NTFS.

EDIT: You dont need to format the drive, you can sinply convert from FAT32 to NTFS with a dos command:

Just go to the Command Prompt and execute the command:

X: /FS:NTFS

Where X: is a name of the drive you want to convert.

Thanks for qualifying my reply..I knew it had something to do with FAT vs NTFS but I get it mixed up concerning format and file system..Thats what happens when you get old, have no hair and your teeth fall out..
