Then I get the message disk full even when there are 6 GB available. So I wanted to use this to store backup images which ist not possible. The driver is the one XP delivers, so there are no points of adjustment. I think, that the harddisk sometimes needs some time to store data or empty buffers, which is interpreted by XP as "unavailable" instead of waiting some sec's. <BR /><BR />Does anyone have an idea what I can do ? I have already written to the US distributor of this USB device but there still is no answer. (info@byteccusa.com)<BR /><BR />Device data:<BR />ME-930 Series 2,5" External IDE to USB<BR /><BR />Any ideas appreciated.<BR />Regards<BR />Günter Kehrer<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 15 Jun 2004 12:47:56 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-pcg-fr215s-and-usb-ext-harddisks/m-p/1287#M125420 gkegke 2004-06-15T12:47:56Z https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-pcg-fr215s-and-usb-ext-harddisks/m-p/1289#M125421 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi<BR />May be an idea, due to FAT limitation, if your USB drive is formated FAT you can't write more than 2GB file's size.<BR />(I'm french, sorry for my english).<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 04 Jul 2004 15:27:43 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-pcg-fr215s-and-usb-ext-harddisks/m-p/1289#M125421 xsavaio 2004-07-04T15:27:43Z https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-pcg-fr215s-and-usb-ext-harddisks/m-p/1290#M125422 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><PRE __jive_macro_name="quote" class="jive_text_macro jive_macro_quote">Hi<BR />May be an idea, due to FAT limitation, if your USB drive is formated FAT you can't write more than 2GB file's size.<BR />(I'm french, sorry for my english).<BR /></PRE><BR /><BR />Thanks for this ! But remember, I have these problems starting already at 6 MB sized files. Currently I am testing if this is a problem with the vaio power supply via the usb port. (because it is running well with desktops). So I have ordered a separate 5 V 2 A power supply for the external harddisk to see if this solves the problem.<BR /><BR />But thanks for your help ! I'll kepp you informed.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 04 Jul 2004 20:03:58 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-pcg-fr215s-and-usb-ext-harddisks/m-p/1290#M125422 gkegke 2004-07-04T20:03:58Z https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-pcg-fr215s-and-usb-ext-harddisks/m-p/1291#M125423 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi !<BR /><BR />just in case anyone expects the same problem.
