You can't. FAT32 to limited to a file size of 4GB. That's one of its
disadvantages. Convert or reformat the drive as NTFS.

between a fat 32 and a NTFS? would you know? thanks chuck

Yes. No problem at all. Windows XP supports FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS,
in any and all combinations. For exmaple, every time you copy a file from a
diskette to an NTFS hard drive (or vice-versa) you are doing that.
