APplication to reformat HD as FAT32

Shooter said:
Good follow up info guys.

Does it work on pre formatted NTFS external drives via F/W, USB or other connection.

Yes, I use it to do exactly this all the time. You will first delete the NTFS partition leaving an unformatted partition from within windows. After you've removed the partition you will assign a drive letter to the drive but DON'T FORMAT within the new hardware wizard, just assign a drive letter and exit. Then launch the command prompt and run fat32format.exe to the drive letter that you just assigned. That's it. Note that this will completely erase any data on the NTFS drive leaving you with a new empty fat 32 drive.
