You may have reactivate Windows OS. Also if the 8GB archive is damage then there is nothing to do except for re-downloading the 8GB archive also if 8GB archive is compress with .rar extension then WinRar app could repair the damage archive.

+1 Freebooter. Your drive might need addressing.
Generally, the archive is corrupt. But what is the file extension and what program are you using to extract it?
FYI, FAT32, like that of a usb, can produce an error with files 4GB+. But you usually get a prompt.
