Nev Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 When sending large files - mainly movies - to a flash drive plugged into my usb port it often stops when only about 25% is loaded. Sometimes it loads perfectly but on other occasions I have to try three or four times to get it to load properly. Sometimes I dont succeed. This occurs when using three different flash drives.

WiseCleaner Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Please try rear USB port. Do your usb device work well on another PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garioch7 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 A lot of flash drives are formatted FAT, not NTFS. There is a 4 GB limit on file size in a FAT formatted drives/partitions. Perhaps your "large" movies are bigger than 4 GB? You could format your flash drive to NTFS, which supports larger file sizes, but some players don't support NTFS formatted flash drives. Just a thought. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil UCanFixIt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
