I'm having trouble moving a file onto a 250GB External HDD from one of my school's Power Mac G5's. I try to transfer a .mov I created but, it quits half way giving me the Error code 1309. I've looked at other threads where people have had similar problems. It seems that the drive has to be formatted for Mac to transfer a file as big as mine (13.89GB). That's not going to work, unless WinXP can also read/copy from that kind of drive.
Is it possible to get that file onto the drive without reformatting to a Mac file system?
The drive is formatted as FAT-32. (I don't know why Mac won't write to NTFS. That is very annoying having to delete my partitions and reformat for a simple file transfer!) It's plugged into the USB 2.0 port on the front of the box. FireWire isn't an option with this drive.
Any suggestions? Remember, I have to have WinXP compatibility.
