If big you mean greater than 2g then you need ntfs instead of fat, otherwise more un-fragmented area, more area, change quota

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

I guess every daft post deserves a daft reply.

If it's only one file, why use xcopy?


=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
