File Size Limit FAT32

Today I got a new external harddisk, and I wanted to copy my Virtual PC images on to it. Unfortunately,it said, not enough disk space when trying to copy an 8 GB image although the disk has 160GB. Well it seemed that I overlooked the fact that the disk was formatted with FAT32 and this only supports files up to 4 GB. For more info check out Size limitations in NTFS and FAT
