ISO Files mystery

[bryankendall]

I have made ISO files from video DVDs using DVD Decrypter. It works great. I put the ISO files on my C drive. However, I cannot copy and paste the ISO files (which are large 3 to 4 gigs) to my external harddrive. (which has 29 gigs left)
I get an error message 'Cannot copy DVDIMAGE: There is not enough free disk space.' Blah, blah, blah. Free up disk space. ect.ect.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Please help!

No big mystery. You don't burn ISOs like that. It's trying to burn the ISO as a file in a file system (ISO) that doesn't allow for files > 2GB. Burn it with DVDDecrypter.

Sorry, if I didn't make myself clear.

Well, I have already sucessfully burnt the image into a folder on C drive. Problem: I am just trying to copy the file to my external harddrive. But, I get this error message that says I have no free spce ....yet, I have 29 gigs of free space and the ISO file is only 4 gig.

Thanks

The external HDD isn't NTFS? Fat32 is limited to 4(?) GB files, and if your file is 1 bit bigger, you get that rather incorrect error message.

To check:

1. Double click My Computer
2. Right click on the Drive that you are interested in
3. Click Properties
4. The file system being used by the drive is displayed next to "File System:"

You haven't enough space on your C: drive.
If you are copying/pasting a file that large, you are
running out of internal memory and windows writing to
your page file which is filling up your C: drive.

Try 'moving' the file instead of copy/pasting or free up some space
on your C drive.
