Convert from unsigned int to float

Question

warning C4244: '=' : conversion from 'unsigned int' to 'float', possible loss of data  

Should a float be able to handle any value from int?

unsigned int: 0 to 4,294,967,295  
float 3.4E +/- 38 (7 digits) 

Wiki:

The advantage of floating-point representation over fixed-point (and

integer) is that it can support a much wider range of values.

Any insight would be helpful, thanks.
