I found my answer myself ;). In Fat32 file format maximum file size is 4G so I formatting flash memory with NTFS file format and problem fixed. – Sam Jan 31 '12 at 12:46

The FAT32 file system supports drives larger than 4GB, but individual files cannot be larger than 4GB-1 (4294967295) bytes. If you must store such large files you will need to use a different file system. The most commonly used file system which supports such large files is NTFS.
