"what is my options? i really need to get the big file to my external harddrive, how can i do that?"
How big is that folder full of images? Say if it's almost 7GB then make a "new folder" and move half or under 3.5GB of images to the new folder. Say if it's 10GB make 2 "new folders" and split the images to about 3.3GB in each folder. Then copy the smaller folders to your External HD!
or
Move everything to your Internal HD and reformat the External HD. If there is not enough space left on your Internal HD for everything then, another way would be if you had access to a second properly formatted External HD, copy everything to it, then reformat yours and copy everything back.

images is not a problem, its just that i have a training DVD which is 7GB in size and its in dmg format, is there a possible way to split the dmg file so i can transfer it to my harddrive?
ok i just tried that program and i i tell it to start and i select the dmg file and all and it gives me an error:
"it may be a read/write image file, which is not supported, do u want to convert the file and then split it? this proccess needs enough diskspaces and may take a while to finish"
i just chose no, i dont undertsnad why its not spliting, can u please explain?
Not going to work because your internal HD to full.
I've also read your other post, and it seems like you need to buy, borrow or steal another External HD (properly format it) and free up your internal HD.

Are you sure this was an error message and not just the prompt window leading you to the next step of the process? What happened when you chose yes to convert and then split the file?
