| Where are you trying to save this file from? Are you downloading it and trying to download it to the external or copying it from a DVD drive to the external?

| EagleMod | I haven't ever had this problem before, but I would guess that Windows is caching that file on the C: drive, and thows the error once capacity is reached. Do you have any large files you can temporarly store on the external drive to free up enough space and try it again?
