Files to big to move to external hard drive?

portable hard drive amazon uk image

Scott

My External hard drive has 49.0 GB Free but also has a lot off stuff on it. I want to move 3 video clips with a total of 16.83 GB. Surely there is PLENTY of space for it. The external is set as FAT 32 and i'm sure it needs to be something else and needs re-formatted or something like that but won't that delete EVERYTHING on the external? Including all the old and files which can't be replaced? Should I just wait till Christmas and get a separate External hard drive to avoid the problem?
Thanks :)

Answer
What ever you do don't format it without backing it up, it will delete everything.
I would suggest waiting for Christmas HDD are so cheap at the moment here is a few to chose from:
