Modern USB drives, including flash drives, can store more and more information. Unfortunately, if there is a certain file system, it is impossible to write a large file to a USB flash drive using the usual method.
Necessary
7-Zip
Instructions
Step 1
There are several methods for solving this problem. The reason is that the FAT32 file system, which is most often found on USB flash drives, does not allow files larger than 4 GB to be written to these devices. Try changing the file system format using the functions of the Windows operating system.
Step 2
Connect the USB flash drive to the USB port of your computer or laptop. Wait while the system detects a new device. Open the My Computer menu. To do this, press the "Start" and E keys at the same time. Now right-click on the icon of your flash drive. Select "Format".
Step 3
In the window that opens, uncheck the "Quick (Clear Table of Contents)" item. In the File System menu, select the NTFS type. Now click the "Start" button and wait for the formatting operation of your flash drive to complete. Be sure to save important files in advance, because this flash drive will be cleared during the formatting process.
Step 4
If this method does not suit you, then divide the file that you want to write to the USB flash drive into several parts. To do this, install the 7z program. Open the "My Computer" menu and the file that you want to write to the USB flash drive.
Step 5
Right-click on it and select 7-Zip. In the expanded menu, select the "Add to archive" option. A new program window will open. Choose an archive format such as Zip. In the "Compression level" column, set the "No compression" parameter.
Step 6
Now find the "Split into Volumes" menu. Enter the size of one volume, for example 3,500,000 bytes (3.5 GB). Click the "Ok" button. As a result, you will end up with several Zip archives. Copy all these files to your USB flash drive. To combine a file into a single whole, select all zip files, right-click on one of them and select the "Build archive" option.
