you cannnot though format the drive you are running the os on.  to do that, you need to run another os on another drive.

Simon and list,
 
You will need to go to the command prompt.  Windows Key+ R then type cmd and press enter.
 
Then type the following.
 
format /FS:FAT32 X: 
 
(Where X: is the drive letter for the drive you want to be formatted with FAT32)
 
Hope this helps,
 
Paul

Subject: [VICUG-L] reformating an NTFS drive in to a fat32 one?
 
hello list,
is there any way to reformat an ntfs drive, in to a fat32 one?
when I go to format normally, it only gives me ntfs, with no other option.
