Greetings, listers. I just purchased an 8gb Crucial Gizmo flash drive mainly to back up my Documents and Settings folder. First, using the Windows Backup utility, I created a copy of my Documents and Settings folder and saved it on my C drive in My Documents. This newly created folder was supposedly 6.6gb in size according to its Properties page. Next I copied it to the clipboard. But when I tried to paste it into my new flash drive, a message immediately popped up prompting me to insert a new volume because the flash drive was full. Hitting Retry, another message alerted me that my flash drive did not have enough capacity to hold the file I was trying to paste. I don't understand what's going on. My flash drive contains 7.5gb of available free space , so it should certainly be able to hold a 6.6gb file. Is it possible that this file is really bigger than 6.6gb? How can I determine the actual size if the figure on the Properties page is inaccurate? Or perhaps the amount of free space on my flash drive is being overstated? In any case, is there any way to back up my Documents and Settings folder onto this flash drive? Or will I have to bite the bullet and ante up for a larger flash drive or external hard drive? Any ideas? BTW, I was able to successfully copy and paste a smaller 2gb file to the flash drive, so I know it's not defective. I'm running XP Pro, if that makes any difference. Thanks.
