Hi.
So, I am attempting to copy a windows xp Virtual Machine file over to my mac using my external hard drive. However, if I attempt to copy the 28 gb file, it says windows cannot copy the file because there is not enough space on the disk. This is not true as both windows and my mac report that the disk has about 280 gigs free. So I thought I would erase the entire disk with disk utility. So, after backing up all the important data on the disk to my mac, I used disk utility to erase the entire disk. So, plugging it back into windows, I find there is nothing on the disk. HOwever, attempting to copy the 28.8 gb vmdk file to the disk gives the same message.
So, is there something wrong with my hard drive? I've also tried repair disk in disk utility but nothing seems to work. So, any advice on getting this way too big file over to my mac?
