how does it matter, the OP has a 14 gig (see what i did here ? ;) ... )
file and uses a fat32 filesystem that can not handle file sizes above
4.

which causes the error he is seeing ... 

the difference of 1000 vs 1074 bytes in the measurement units is not
relevant at all for this ...

also the original post only uses GB i dont see where you see a prob
with this. before you claimed he should use GiB instead there was no
confusion or mix-up of any units (even karl talked aboout GB in his
answer)
