Windows 10: Windows 11 - file is too large for the destination file system

I am continuously having problems moving data on to my hard disk due to file too large for the destination file system error.Few facts:- Both my hard disk partitions are NTFS, it gives the error when i move between partitions too.- The file i am copying from other shared folders are NTFS, still gives the error.- the file sizes are well below 1 gb- it gives error on all files regardless of file type jpegs, xls, doc, pfc etc.

The file "install.wim" is too large for the destination file system.

I just checked the MCT and it is still offering the original March release 15063.0 of Windows 10. The new June refresh MSDN ISO is version 15063.413 and as you have found will not fit on a FAT32 formatted flash drive because of the 4.0GB file size limit of FAT32.

For UEFI installs you need a bootable FAT partition. I know you are not a fan of Rufus but it can solve this issue. It can create a very small FAT12 bootable partition and the rest of the flash drive will be formatted NTFS for data. I have actually made a flash drive of this type and it works as advertised.

Here are my settings for Rufus:

Was just copying over the files from my mounted Windows 10 (multi edition) MSDN ISO and got that message. It's formatted as Fat32. This is the just newly released last month ISO. Looks like I'll have to use NTFS? This may be an issue for those that need Fat32 for UEFI installs.

 

Too large for destination file system when its not.

eXFAT32 can. *Smile

Its max file size is like humongo..

File size limit of 64 ZiB, raised from 4 GiB in FAT32 <---
