Trying to move an 11 gig file to external.

Actually, you can move it over without reformatting. Get something like 7zip or WinRAR and split up the files into 4GB chunks. May be a bitch later on, but that's your call.

Do this unless you want to reformat to ntfs.
It is not a bitch at all just get winrar and add the file to archive then select an appropriate size for each piece. Then extract when you want to access it.

Only reason I thought it to be a pain was that if it is an occasionally accessed file, archiving and breaking it up would be a hassle, whereas if he was just storing for archival purposes, this split wouldn't be too much of a problem.
