Error ) on Leopard

[BoyMac]

I have a WD 1TB external HD. I am running Leopard. When I try to transfer a file that is 4GBs, I get an error 0. There shouldn't be a limit on the size of a file to transfer. Please help. Thanks.

How have you formatted that external hd?

Needs to be formatted in either NTFS or HFS Extended.

It's obviously formatted as FAT32, which doesn't allow for files to be larger than 4 GB. HFS+ (Mac OS X Extended +journaled) will work fine for Mac OS X systems, NTFS will work fine for Windows systems. Both can be made read-/writeable with additional software. OS X can read NTFS systems out of the box, but not write to them.

To format your HD: (after backing up any data on it -this WILL destroy all data)

Open Applications->Utilities->'Disk Utility'
Select the disk in the panel on the left
Click the 'Erase' tab
Select 'Mac OS Extended (journaled)'
Type in a name for the disk
Click 'Erase'

Job done!

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, I had a tech nightmare with my own computer!!
