I'm assuming you've tried copy and paste and weren't able to copy the file. If you haven't, please do xD. Now... if you have, I'm gonna tell you why this happened (if you want to just skip it) and how it can be solved.

Why this happened: This error you've run into has to do with the fact that flash drives are formatted to FAT (FAT and NTFS are file systems. A file system can be defined as the way data is organized in a partition, which is a logical disk) by default. That's because many people use different operative systems, and NTFS is only compatible with Windows and some Linux distributions. You probably won't even notice there's a difference... until you want to write a file larger than 4 gb. FAT is unable to do that.

You need to format your flash drive to NTFS instead of FAT. Formatting means, among other stuff, erasing of data (actually, only the records of files are wiped, the data remains written in the surface of the disk.

If you wanna skip the lesson xD, start reading from here.

How it can be solved:

If you're using Windows backup your stuff (if the drive's brand new I don't think you have any) It works, but now your drive isn't gonna be compatible with better other operative systems (like Linux or Mac OS)

Once your flash drive (actually, a drive-filling partition) is formatted to NTFS, you can start copying files larger than 4 gb right away. :D

Now, if by any chance, you're using a different OS, your flash drive's filesystem is gonna have to be FAT so that it's compatible with that OS. So use WinRAR or similar software to split the files (for instance 11.5 / 4 = 2,875). Even though it works, it's gonna be a pain in the ass having to split every file that's larger than 4 gb.

How do you work with video memory in c?

Video memory is hardware specific. Any c implementation that directly accesses video memory will not be portable. In fact, video memory will probably not be accessible in modern operating systems, because the video driver provides the interface. Also, even the same hardware has different addresses for different modes.It is better to use the OS's API to drive the image.It you must access video memory, and assuming that you can, such as in real mode DOS, you can define a pointer unsigned char *ptr and initialize it to the address of video memory such as ptr = 0xB0000 and then use it ptr[someaddress] = somevalue. Keep in mind that you will probably also need to interface with the hardware registers.It is better to use the OS's API to drive the image.It is better to use the OS's API to drive the image.Am I being clear enough? :-)>
