How to Copy files larger 4Gb to a pendrive of type FAT32

To transfer/copy files larger , all you need to do is to change the file system of pen drive from FAT32 to either NTFS or exFAT. To do that, follow these steps:
Note: All data on the pen drive partition will be lost permanently. Don’t forget to backup valuable data before continuing.
  1. Plug in the pen drive to your PC.
  2. Copy any important data out of  the pen drive to a place from where you can access it later on.
  3. Open Computer/My Computer (or whatever your PC is named) and right click on your pen drive’s name.
  4. Select Format.
  5. Now in the file system drop down menu, change the format from FAT32 to either NTFS or exFAT.
    We’ll recommend exFAT over NTFS, but that might make the drive incompatible with some older systems.

  7. Finally click on Start.
  8. Your drive will be formatted and you can now copy files of any size (only up to the total capacity of your pen drive, of course) to your pen drive.
