Right-click the My Computer icon, and locate Disk Management. There, delete that newly created 4GB partition and with right-click create a new Extended partition and format it in NTFS as a 32 GB partition. Chances are your stick was using a FAT32 partition that doesnt allow for larger files than 4GB (I think). The down side of the NTFS partition is that you wont be able to use your stick with MACs (unless they've smartened up and support NTFS nowadays). 
Hope this helps.

A drive formatted with FAT32 will only allow a max file of 4GB.  You will need to format the drive with NTFS to write larger files.

Good Luck
