Buzz Out Loud Lounge: Windows 7 64 bit large files
Windows 7 64 bit large files
by MollieGizmo - 11/7/09 11:03 AMBefore you buy or upgrade to Windows 7 (64 bit), be aware you absolutely cannot copy large files to external USB drives...so no backups or copy to/from these drives will be possible.
I am growling mad at MS for releasing a product with such a basic flaw.
Does anyone have a fix?
Does anyone want to swap their Mac for my PC?
Temporary Workaround...

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprohardware/thread/3aae3b66-6a1a-47e8-ad1b-b20b68eaecf8#79ea3219-d76e-40bc-b910-c7d347002e66
Open the command prompt and type "bcdedit /set truncatememory 0x80000000" (without the quotes) and then restart.
Hope that helps.

I have an American Megatrends chipset (BIOS) only Nvidia chips are the graphics.
Thanks
