A 5 gig file won't fit onto an empty 16 gig flash drive?
I have a 16 gigabyte flash drive that's relatively empty (13.7GB free space), and I was trying to put a 5 gigabyte .ISO file onto it. However, when I try to copy the file to the flash drive, I get an error saying there is not enough space to put the file on the flash drive. I know this is not true because I have over 13 gigs of free space.
Is there any reason for this weird error and is there any fix? This is kinda important.
