Uh, My Computer-Manage-Drive Management? There is also command line DiskPart.exe in system32 folder.

RE: [H] FAT32 under WinXPSP2
You need to remember that Windows XP does not support FAT32 drives over 132GB natively. In fact I have found drives formatted in FAT32 over 132GB do have a tendency to corrupt.

Doesn't seem to be an option that shows up in explorer w/ a right click / format operation.
Re: [H] FAT32 under WinXPSP2
Doesn't seem to be an option that shows up in explorer w/ a right click / format operation. you have to be in non folder...icon view to format from explorer
Re: [H] FAT32 under WinXPSP2
of course, you can't format a folderbut neither of my systems will offer the option for a FAT32 format via right click on a drive icon... even disk administrator won't do it. And that's for a lowly 40 GB drive, too. I could drop to a command box and get it done with the format e: /fs:fat32 option that Thane mentioned, however.

Re: [H] FAT32 under WinXPSP2
Nothing worked.format /FS:fat32 would crap at the end saying the volume was too big. Finally, I used Acronis to set the type for FAT32 after the volume was id as NTFS FORC5 wrote: can do from drive management fp At 12:39 PM 7/4/2007, Anthony Q.

Re: [H] FAT32 under WinXPSP2
I thought WinXP had an internal size limit of 32G to force (well gently prod??) people into using NTFS. But, IF something else formats it, (third party app.), xp will use larger sizes. I never hit the top limit someone else mentioned since I like smaller partitions for back-up reasons... Rick Glazier From: Anthony Q.

Well, that's a nasty unknown limit to put in there...talk about wasting people's time!
