Has any one had any bother Moving / Copying file to USB Pen drive?

I have found when Moving / Copying files to USB Pen drive larger than 3.99GB the end of the programmes get cut off.

Would this be the pen drive limitation or the Duo?

Looks like you USB-stick is in the FAT32 format; that only accommodates a file-length of 4 GB.
If you initialize the stick by the box, it will be in the Ext4 format, which can handle unlimited file-length.

Yes it is Fat32.

If I format it to Ext4 will I be able play the files in VLC on Win XP?

Nope. Unless you install a driver for that.
Google on 'Ext driver for Windows'.

Sorted.

After installing Ext2Fsd had to reboot lappy.

Works like a dream now.

Thanks.:thumbsup:

Good.
Ext drivers for Windows never offer the full functionality, but for reading a disk it should be fine.
