Actually according to more google searches there's some weirdness about how big a FAT32 partition could be. I think Windows only lets you do 32GB and making it bigger requires third-party tools.

The 32GB limit depends on the variety of Windows (Windows 95 and Windows 98 use the 2TB limit while Windows 2000 was limited to 32GB). Generally for USB drives over 32GB, I go with exFAT to allow files larger than 4GB.

Microsoft FAT32 Specification. The second link downloads a Word document that is a pretty much a guaranteed cure for insomnia.
