5gb file won't copy onto SD Card

[Cornfuzzled]

I'm trying to transfer a 5gb file onto my Eris. The SD card is mounted, and it shows that 7gb is free. I am able to copy over a 1gb file to and from, but when I try the 5gb file, I receive the following message:

The disk in the destination drive is full. Insert a new disk to continue. Retry Cancel.

If I click Retry, I get the following:
Cannot copy (filename): there is not enough free disk space.

What's the deal? Anyone know how to get this to work?

I believe this may have to do with the format of the SD card. Fat32 cannot have a single file over 4gb I believe.

I may be wrong, but I've ran into something similar with a flash drive.

Correct. 4gb limit on FAT32. End of thread.

Thanks. Appreciate the replies.

I'm not sure if it's the end of the thread. Someone might have a work around. Possibly formating the SD card in a different format or something?

Want 5gb files? Get a USB flash drive.

Don't think you can stick a USB Flash Drive in your phone..so that was useless. >..>

Now end of thread.
