so, if one file in a folder is over 4gb it wont copy over?
WTF thats stupid, how am i suppose play downloaded games?

Split them? Well if your planning on playing off an external anyways but not all games work 100% off an external.

You can still play games on an external drive formatted into FAT32 even if the files are over 4gigs. Use PS3splitter (or any similar program) that splits large files into smaller parts. Backup Managers are compatible with split files so they can run games normally. Or if you want to run games with files over 4gigs, you can just FTP them into your internal hard drive and run them from there using Backup Managers. You can also FTP media files with files larger than 4gigs such as that in the picture.

Moved to PC help.
If it won't play on your PS3 after copying it then it belongs in PS3 help, anything on the PC side of it goes in PC help.

Happened to me one time on my PSP's memory stick. I had to format the memory stick then it started working again.
Google around and try all those disc repair apps because formatting your drive is the very last thing you want to do.

You are thinking about something completely unrelated to ZidaneTheTribal's problem (or lack there of).

OK guys, to split the files and move them to your ps3 or usb, use a compressor software (i.e winrar or 7zip). When you start to compress the file it will give you the options to split the split the file and you can choose a size. Choose 3gb or something and start the process. Now, move the files to your usb flash disk and extract them there.
If you're on linux you can use an even easier method called lxsplit.
To install it, open up a terminal and type in: sudo apt-get install lxsplit.
To split a file, type in lxsplit -s /path/to/file.name 4000M
This will split the file into 4000mb sized files and you can move them to your usb flash disk. Their names will end with 001, 002 etc.
To join the files type in; lxsplit -j /path/to/file.name.001
