What you will have to do is partition your 32GB drive to break out
additional 2GB volumes. Assign drive letters an PCDOS should see them
and let you copy or move files to them.

Or switch to a different version of DOS.  I had FreeDOS installed in a
multiboot configuration on an old notebook, with Win2K Pro, two
flavors of Linux, and FreeDOS.  I partitioned the drive.  The Win2K
install got 20GB formatted NTFS, the Linux slices got 8GB each,
formatted ext4, and FreeDOS got a 2GB slice formatted FAT32. (The
remainder was for a swap partition used by Linux.)  It had no problem
with it being FAT32, and I could have given it a larger slice, but
nothing I would install or use under FreeDOS needed a larger volume.
