Reformat it as NTFS instead of FAT.

And check out the other sites of "stackexchange", where such non-programming (!) questions are appropriate.

Because that is the maximum file size for FAT32 filesystems ("640kb ought to be enough for anybody): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table – Has QUIT--Anony-Mousse Oct 17 '12 at 11:11
