FAT32 doesn't support larger files than 2GB (If I recall correctly) - just change your FS-type and stop living in the 90's.

Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.

if you are using windows 2000 or newer (xp/2003) you should convert the disc to ntfs:

The only reason you should be running Fat32 is if you're dual booting the machine with an older windows OS and that drive is storing information both installs are using.

If not. Convert.

Or, Linux. But at this time the 2.6 kernel supports NTFS pretty good.
