Bearing in mind, of course, that the target file system may have  
limitations on the size of the file that can be created. I'm pretty  
sure FAT32 is limited to 4 Gb, likely the cause of the error message  
when copying it onto the USB drive. I've heard of people successfully  
reformatting their drive in other less-limited filesystems, but  
haven't tried it myself.
