    Right click on computer (My Computer if using Microsoft xp)

    Click manage and a window will open up - on the left pane of this window click Disk Management - under storage.

    You should be able to click on your external HDD, right click it and select "Format" - a new window will come up and you should be able to choose FAT32 as the type of format you want to run on it.

    Hope this helps

    Use this. http://tokiwa.qee.jp/EN/Fat32Formatter/

    In my experience it doesn't work on Windows 7 though, hopefully you're using an older OS :pac:

    Wow, and here i was thinking Xbox360 was a next gen console.

    How can they get things as large as full games to fit in a FAT file system isnt there a limit on the size of a single file?
