    Hello, I am looking for a portable FAT32 hard drive, one that does not require its own power supply, but draws it from the USB. I am aware of the limitation of FAT32.

    Cheap as possible, thanks.

    just find your external drive, and you can format it after as FAT32

    Yeah, I have been trying this. Windows doesn't seem to like doing this, I spent all last night trying the "solutions" I found on the various fora and blogs I found. Just wondering if anyone knows a specific drive out there.

    Maybe try deleting all partitions first from DiskManagement, then add one (or more, if you like) and format from blank.

    Any drive will do, just format it with fat32format

    SwissKnife is also good at formatting a hard drive to FAT32, as said above any drive will work
