Why can't I put files in a USB flash drive?

(For example, if the U disk space is 8 GB, but a file with 5 GB is not allowed.) This is probably not because the U disk is broken, but the format of the U disk is incorrect (of course, the U disk may be fake, because the capacity is not enough ). Because your USB flash drive is in the format of FAT32 file system, this file format does not support single files larger than 4 GB. What should we do? Convert the USB flash drive to NTFS format. The following is the conversion process (this method generally does not damage the original data in the disk and can ensure that the current file is intact ):

Suppose you want to convert your f Disk

Click "start" --> RUN ---> Enter cmd and press Enter. a command prompt is displayed.

Enter "Convert F:/Fs: NTFS" after the command prompt (excluding quotation marks, note that a space is left after convert). After you press enter, a prompt will be displayed, then follow the prompts.

If your disk name is changed, the system will ask you to enter the current disk volume label, which is the name you changed, for example, disk F, you changed the disk name to "game ", then the scale is a game.

After the conversion command is entered, if the disk you are converting is in use, the system will prompt that the conversion will automatically run after you restart the machine, and the conversion will be completed at the next restart.

Note: This method is irreversible. After FAT32 is switched to NTFS, it cannot be switched back. Of course, there is no need to switch back. You must switch back and format the hard disk.

 

If you are using a fat or FAT32 partition and do not need to ensure that the current file is intact, we recommend that you use the NTFS file system to format the existing partition, instead of converting from a fat or FAT32 file system. (Partition formatting will delete all data on the partition and allow you to work from the beginning on the brand new drive ).

Advantages of NTFS file system

***************************

Support for larger partitions

· NTFS supports up to 2 TB of partition size (volume if Dynamic Disk is used. In Windows 2000, FAT32 supports a maximum partition size of 32 GB.

The file system is more reliable and the reading speed is higher.

· NTFS is a recoverable file system. On the NTFS partition, users seldom need to run the disk repair program. NTFS ensures partition consistency by using standard transaction logs and recovery technologies. When a system failure occurs, NTFS uses log files and checkpoint information to automatically restore the consistency of the file system.

Supports folder Compression

· NTFS supports compression of partitions, folders, and files.

More effective disk space management

· NTFS uses smaller clusters to manage disk space more efficiently. In contrast, NTFS can manage disk space more effectively than FAT32, avoiding disk space waste to the maximum extent.

Better security

· On the NTFS partition, you can set access permission for shared resources, folders, and files. The permission setting includes two aspects: first, which groups or users are allowed to access folders, files, and shared resources; the second is the access level that a group or user can access.

More functions

· You can manage the disk quota in the NTFS file system of Win 2000. The disk quota is the quota that the administrator can limit for the disk space that the user can use. Each user can only use the disk space within the maximum quota range. After setting the disk quota, you can track and control the disk usage of each user. by monitoring, you can identify the users who exceed the quota alarm threshold and quota, and then take appropriate measures. The disk quota management function allows administrators to easily and reasonably allocate storage resources to users, avoiding system crashes caused by out-of-control disk space usage and improving system security.
