Hi guys! Thanks for all the suggestions - I knew I'd get some! I'm not sure gparted is going to help - below is the table (unformatted) showing 'supported operations' - it appears that the current NTFS format is only 'detected'. No ability to resize in order to create a FAT32 partition, which means wiping the drive, which puts me back at square one! Am I not reading this correctly?
As for the convert command, doesn't that wipe the data from the drive as well? I'm starting to think I should just go get a new drive and a USB enclosure, so I can just format the drive FAT32 from scratch and be done. I think there's something funny with this out-of-the-box Maxtor OneTouch thing - and they're support wasn't overly helpful either. (I just hate spending money.....) Any other ideas?
