Doug,

You didn't say if you used FDISK or not.

If not, try first using FDISK to remove all partitions
from the hard disk.

Then run FDISK again. Choose do NOT set up large hard drive
support. This will set up the hard disk to use FAT 16 rather
than FAT 32.

Then set up your partition(s) and format the hard drive.
The hard disk should now format with FAT16 rather than FAT32.
