Most USB drives have the FAT32 file system. You can go to "my computer", right click on the USB drive and choose "format". Then use the "NFTS" format rather than FAT32.

This may get you what you're looking for. We have to do this at work many times because the video files we work with are large enough to hit the FAT32 limit.

Now, the only drawback to doing this re-formatting is that you MUST stop the device prior to removing it every time from now on after re-formatting. On FAT32, apperantly, it's permitted to remove it any time without stopping.

Just to be on the safe side, I stop any USB device prior to removal as a habit.
