Oh, just one more thing, according to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat16
Fat 16 won't support partition sizes bigger than 2GB, so I suggest first splitting off a tiny bit of the first partition, then change the split of partition file structure to EXT3 then growing it bigger as needed. good luck!
