How to fix the file is too large for the destination file system without formatting using CMD
im going to show you guys how to fix "the file is too large for the destination file system" without formatting the drive sometimes when you try to copy file to a USB drive it will show an error message like this. This is because it is a FAT32 drive. So you will have to convert it to NTFS FileSystem, Normally when you convert FAT32 to NTFS all the data will be lost. But there is an alternative way to convert FAT32 to NTFS FileSystem without formatting the drive. To do that open Command Prompt (CMD) as administrator and type the following command

Command to be used(type or copy and paste the below command in command prompt):-

Convert H: /fs:ntfs /nosecurity /x

(NOTE: REPLACE H WITH DRIVE LETTER OF THE DRIVE WHICH YOU WANT TO CONVERT)



After typing the above command hit enter (it may take some time to complete). Once done you can copy file of any size without any issues and your data will not get affected

The reason behind it that Your flash drive, external disk formated with FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32bit) file system. But in the FAT32 file system, you can not copy a larger file than 4 GB. That’s why when you try to copy a file larger than 4 GB then this error appears.

You can verify the file system one of the properties of your flash drive and you will find the file system is FAT32.

In FAT16 file system file larger than 2GB can’t not be transferred and in FAT32 the maximum limit is increased to 4GB.

There is two way to change the file system of your drive to resolve this issue. The file is too large for the destination file system.

Option 1: Format your usb disk, flash drive or external disk with NTFS partition, but in case your existing data in disk will be lost. If you wants that data. Go for option 2 only.
Option 2: Convert your file system from FAT32 to NTFS without data loss.
