Hello,

I want to copy an .avi file to my external hard drive. However, each time, the following message appears:

"Operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0)."

How can I resolve this issue? Thank you for your help.

Configuration: Mac OS X (10.10.3) / Safari 8.0.5

    I finally found the reason on other forums:

    My hard drive is in the format: MS-DOS (FAT 32)
    Therefore, it is impossible to copy files larger than 4GB onto it.

    The proposed solution is formatting:
    Change the hard drive format to NTFS

    I haven't found any other solution and I find the formatting solution quite annoying, too bad...
