Double click on the "Computer" or "My Computer" icon on your computer's Windows Desktop.

Place your mouse over the C: drive and click on the Right mouse button.
Click on "Properties".
Look for "File System:"
If you are using XP, it should read either NTFS or FAT32 depending on how your hard drive was formatted.
If it says NTFS, then your hard drive should be compatable with the file you want to download.
If it says FAT32, then the file you want to download is not compatable with your current hard drive configuration.

Good Luck...

I'm surmising the download has already run a diagnostic on your system and discovered you have an NTFS file structure.
