File transfer issue on external hard drive ("Error 1309") Solved

Question

Hello,

I have a MacBook Air and I tried to transfer a .mkv file from the desktop to my external hard drive. It is quite a large file (4.5 GB) but the drive is almost empty.
I'm getting an error message "1309" that prevents me from copying it to the drive.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue WITHOUT formatting the drive?

Thanks in advance

Hello,  There's no one here so I'm answering.  The file size limit of FAT32 is 4 GB  Format it to exFAT which is not affected by this limit. (Maximum file size is limited to 16 TB)

Hello,

Does anyone know how to fix this problem WITHOUT formatting the disk?

Without formatting the disk ... ? It depends on the current format of that disk. If the disk is formatted in MS DOS, (FAT32), there is no chance of saving a 4.5 Go file.

Best regards..
