    i have been trying to get a 10gb file onto a 16gb thumb drive and it says it is already full. i have deleted all the files and even reformatted the thumb drive and still get the device already full message. does this make sense to anyone??

    change the format to ntfs or split the file into 3 parts so under 4gig limitations of fat32.
