So, an example with the company path names changed: The robocopy command that I used was as simple as I could make it (it's my first time using it): robocopy " " " " There were smaller files that successfully copied, but it failed at 90.3% of a 4.4GB file. There is an error message: ERROR 87 (0x00000057) Copying File \ The parameter is incorrect. UPDATE: Per suggestions, I tried to copy the files using robocopy, but it failed for the large files both to the external drive and to my local machine. I am using Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit, 8GB RAM Why does my NTFS hard drive throw maximum file size errors, and what can I do? The frustrating thing is that every help topic I can find says to convert the external hard drive's FAT32 system to NTFS, but my external hard drive is already an NTFS file system. It would appear that the external hard drive is not causing the error. This also resulted in the same error message, and my internal hard drive is also NTFS. UPDATE: As suggested, I tried copying one of the large files to my internal hard drive. This is very annoying because I am copying from a server across an internet connection, and the copying process runs for 4+ hours before I receive the error.ĮDIT: Just for clarification/details, the error has shown for at least 5 different files attempted so far.
However, when attempting to copy the files to the hard drive, I receive the error that says The file '' is too large for the destination file system and have to abandon the copying process. I have some large database files (4-7GB) that I need to transfer to an external hard drive (WD My Book, 6TB). This is my first SuperUser post, so please bear with me if I make any mistakes, thanks.
