That's the problem right there. fat32 has a file size limit of 4GB.
You would either need to use NTFS or exFAT.

That symbol is normal for removable drives.
Are you using XP or Win7? That pic looks like XP. If it's XP, did you patch XP for exFAT?
Older operating systems may need a patch installed for exFAT compatibility.

Cool. You'll still have to patch XP if you want to use the drive on that system.
