Problem with my external harddrive (Can't put .img's and .iso's there.)

[Knoothead]

When I  bought a new external hard-drive wron Western Digital 1TB something, I will get the correct model later if required.

The problem is that I can't put .iso's and .img's there (I think same for all "virtual cd's" or whatever they're called.)

It says that the harddrive is full, but i still got 740 GB's left..


Anyone else with this problem that could help me?

Thanks!

Right click on Hard Disk icon - Properties - Quota

Check if it is turned on.
If yes, turn it off.
Quota prevents hard disk capacity to change, so you cannot add files.

Is that in Windows XP? Because I can't find it..

My Computer - Right Click on your hard disk drive - Properties - Last tab: Quota - Check if it is enabled or disabled.

Yes, in XP.

I tried and had Clooak to do remote  control, and no, that tab looks differently on my Computer. I can find Quota on my Local Harddrive, but not on the external one.

Any *cough* needed drivers? Have you read any documentation that might have come with the product ?

I've tried to update drivers, but nothing found it says............

No I haven't as it's basically not my external harddrive, it's my daddys.
I will try to find those though.

The reason was that it was running on FAT32 and needed to be converted to NTFS..
