stoopid question

davidclayton · 2004-07-27 08:57:34

i'm having major trouble getting a new pc to get up and running. i'm not sure what the problem is but i think fdisk mightn't be working right. is there a windows based program available to format a hard drive to fat32, as i am using winxp, and only formats to ntfs. :dunno: dave

FDisk does it
Boot up using a (win95/8 if possible)floppy disk, and run fdisk. It'll then delete your partitions as you tell it to, and then you can re-create them again.

When XP is installing you're given the option to use NTFS or FAT32 - et vóila!
