Use a USB flash drive to store files larger than 4 GB-exFAT format

Today, I used an offline wikipedia package from a machine in the lab. I used a USB flash drive to copy the package to my computer and use an 8 GB USB flash drive, if I try to reformat it to FAT32, I still don't know if the disk is full. I am wondering how the space of 7 or more GB is full after formatting, I remember that this was also the case before. When I copied a video of about 7 GB, I was prompted that the video was full. Then I took the mobile hard disk directly. This problem occurs again. What's the problem? Copy one or two small G files. Why not? Try to format the file again and suddenly wake up! It turns out that the formatting uses the FAT32 format, while the FAT32 supports a maximum of 4 GB. This is the reason. Use the latest exFAT format and try again, no!

Search on the Internet. In this case, XP needs to be patched: windowsXP supports patches for exFAT. After installation, restart the machine and OK!

At the beginning, I never paid attention to the file format size limit, which wastes a lot of time!
