Select the NTFS in the File System drop-down menu. Right-click on the USB you want to format with NTFS and select “Format”.ģ.

Attach the USB to your computer, wait for Windows to recognize it. If your USB is empty or contains no important files, using Windows Format command to format the USB with the NTFS file system is a way.ġ. But how? One method is reformatting this USB flash drive (data will lose) another method is directly converting its file system to NTFS (data will be safe). To solve this problem, you need to change its FAT32 file system into another one: NTFS, which has no such limitation of single files’ size and allows a partition size to be up to 256TB. Namely, change USB from FAT32 to NTFS. Therefore, you cannot copy 4GB or larger files to FAT32 USB flash drive. But its biggest disadvantage is that 4GB is the maximum size of a single file while the maximum size of a single partition capacity is 2TB. FAT32 is widely used in different kinds of devices, such as hard drive, DVD player, USB flash drive and so on. There are two common kinds of file systems, FAT32 and NTFS. Well, the problem is not from the USB drive, instead, it’s caused by the file system on the drive. I recently got a problem: trying to copy a 5GB media from my computer to my USB flash drive it has around 20GB unused free space, but it cannot accept this large file and pop out an error message saying “the file is too large for destination file system”. But the available space is more than enough. Why this large file can’t be transferred? Why cannot copy files larger than 4GB to USB?
