   vist - external hard drive- big file
   
   trying to move an 8 gig file from my computer to my external harddrive but its saying "te file is too large for the destination file system
   
   is that because the external harddrive is a FAT32 file structure not NTFS

   yes.
   
   maximum size of a file under FAT32 = 4gb.
   
   Under NTFS it's meant to be as large as you want, but don't hold me to that.
