Go back into Disk Utility, select the drive (not the volume) icon, and click on 
the Partition tab.

Select '1 Partition' under the Volume Scheme, click on Options and select 
'Apple Partition Map'; if it was FAT32 it was partitioned as Master Boot 
Record, whcih cannot be used to boot a Mac. FAT32 and HFS are the *volume* 
formats, not the disk partition type.
