I am running 4 different hard drives on my tower. I'm running windows 7 64 bit. I also have a 320 gb external hard drive. Whenever I try and backup my pc it goes to like 30% then I get the error message telling me that I don't have enough space to do my backup. All the hard drives I have installed are big enough. According to the Windows backup program I only need 68 gb's for my backup. And they are all currently empty. Why would I keep getting these messages. I have formatted all of the hard drives so none of them are full. Thanks

FAT32 drives have a file size limit of 4GB, and your backup is trying to exceed that limit. When you try to exceed that limit, you get the terrible, incorrect, misleading message that you are out of disk space. Ken Blake
