I want to transfer a file over 4gb to a 16 gb memory stick. I formatted the device as ext3 and transferred the file to it but windows 7 says it needs formatting and will not read it. There must be a simpler way of transferring large files to my computer

To answer your question – quoting a post on hummy.tv by grahamlthompson:
EXT2FSD allows EXT3 volumes to be read/write in Win 7 (and XP)

FTP them from the USB drive as all files on the internal hard disk are encrypted. Also EXT3 is not recommended for USB flash devices because they are constantly being written to, use EXT2 instead
Thank you Luke. Not an intuitive answer but it works!
