as far as I know, there is no partition on the drive, as it is an external one, 
that was previously used to hold my audio/video archive, so was always just one 
drive.

  You will need to delete the partition first, then recreate it.  Finally 
formatting the newly created partition should allow FAT32.

  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.
