Unable to copy files to large partition

I get a "not enough diskspace" error copying a 647MB file into a 219GB
Volume, that is completely free. Tried this using explorer, as well as the
move command from the the prompt. Interestingly, explorer copied small files
(27MB) very happily. I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit.

I:\>move *.img P:\
I:\abc.img
There is not enough space on the disk.
I:\def.img
There is not enough space on the disk.
0 file(s) moved.

I:\>dir *.img
Volume in drive I is Temp
Volume Serial Number is A25E-605E

Directory of I:\

2 File(s) 1,353,714,768 bytes
0 Dir(s) 0 bytes free

I:\>dir p:\temp
Volume in drive P is Disks b

Re: Unable to copy files to large partition

You cannot "move" from one drive to another. Use "XCOPY".

hasn't been correctly regognised (ecuse my english)if so goto my
computer manage and a quick formate if there is nothing on it
and restart i have 4 x SATA each 250GB np from USB can be a problem to
copy a big file just a thought might be worth a try i have the 64 bit
and it is ok to copy and fast
