Sorry, "Overwrite"   ...... :-)

you need to run:
/sbin/mkfs.ext3   /dev/sdb1

and this will convert your external hard drive from fat32 to ext3.




Just a clarification...

The word 'convert' is misleading here.  There's no
conversion about it.  This command will overwrite your
existing FAT filesystem.
