Image on a USB stick

[Rex A. Butcher]

What ho one and all,

Yesterday, I made an image of my XP os (C:/) to a different hdd; something that I do regularly.

As I have recently bought a 128gb USB stick, I thought, put a copy on that as well. The stick is not bootable as I boot from an Acronis True Image rescue cd. I hope that having booted ATI, I would be able to point the recovery image to the stick.

But in creating the image, ATI stopped at 4.2gb and asked for another disk. It did this every 4.2gb. Is this something about placing very large files onto a USB? How do I get around it? Does ATI consider that I am saving to a DVD and if so, why?

Thanks

Rex

I'm guessing you used FAT32 on your flash drive. For files larger than 4GB, you'd need reformat the drive in NTFS or exFAT.

You'd need to use NTFS with TrueImage. It doesn't support exFAT.
