    I am a newbie and I am planning to get a HP Pavilion dv6611ei Notebook. A Friend said I must check if I can copy my purchased DVD movies on it as he said it could have NTFS or FAT32 - not sure how this affects the copy process but he said it could mean I can't copy more that 4 gigs.

    Can you help - what is the 6611ei set up with by HP?
    Will I have problems using Alcohol to copy my movies?
    If there's a prob, how to I correct it so I can copy stuff?

    The computer comes with a large main partition and a smaller recovery partition. Both should be partitioned in NTFS.

    Maximum file size of a file in FAT32 is 4 GB.

    Some movies may have copy protections on them that will stop you from making copies. Any way around the copy protections is copyright infringement.
