Trouble transferring 4.3 gb ISO to external HD

I'm trying to transfer ISO's (4.3 gb in size), which I created with DVDshrink. I am transfering from my C drive to an external hard drive, which I recently purchased. All other files (mp3, pictures, and other smaller files) were transferred without a problem. However, when I try to transfer an ISO. I get a message saying "Cannot copy ("filename"): There is not enough free disk space. Delete one or more files to free disk space, and then try again". It keeps on saying this when I have NOTHING on the hard drive and there is at least 250 gigs free. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

check to see what disk system the external drive is set to. e.g. fat32, ntfs.

 

The format is MS-DOS File System FAT32
I also have the problem of the file "growing larger" when I transfer the file from my computer to the external HD.

Thanks for your help

 

Is there any way to transfer files that are over 4.0 gb? If there is, can you tell me how?

 

also, forget the above post about the files "growing larger".

 

Extract from MS Article ID:314463
You cannot create a file larger than (2^32)-1 bytes (this is one byte less than 4 GB) on a FAT32 partition.

Under NTFS the file can be much bigger -
16 terabytes minus 64 KB

So you can either use DVD Shrink to make the file just under 4GB or convert to NTFS.
