First thing to do is to defragment your drive - there may not be a single area on your drive big enough to fit your file. When you are doing that you will get a drive map that will show you how files are distributed on your HDD
umm....if there is no single space big enough then it will just split the file into smaller fragments and write them.
thats why we have a disk defragmenter.
as long as you have enough free clusters to write the file, it should write properly.
Arc:
As a follow up to parksie's post, try running the software in Windows 95 compatability mode and see what happens....I think 95 was the first version of windows that supported FAT32. (aside from maybe hacked 3.1 DLLs)
