One drive formatted in Fat16 and the other Fat32?.......not that it should......but I've taken info from one disc (on floppy/cdr/cdrw) to another, and it can't read it........and this is with both systems exactly the same......
How are you moving the file?

Oh......and you're in the right forum only you've posted the message under "helpful hints"....instead of "Question".....no biggy...

Are you saying 500 Megabytes......what executables are those...?
Your memory allocation may not handle it......Need system specs....

Disable write caching on the drive, if enabled.
