I have an external harddrive that needs to be formatted... but I need to format it as a fat32 file system. I try format it on both xp and vista but its only giving me the choice of ntfs. Is there a program I could use to format it to fat32?
Once in disk utility, select your external drive in the list on the left of the Disk Utility window, and click "erase". Select FAT32 as your file format, name the volume, and click the "erase" option.
