Default Back up using XP

I tried to back up my harddrive using the backup software in windows.
However, at about just over 4 gigs, it said it had to stop as it was unable
to copy files bigger that this size.
How do I get around this problem?
Thanks in advacne for any help/

Default Back up using XP

You cannot create a file larger than (2^32)-1 bytes (this is one byte less than 4 GB)
on a FAT32 partition.
