it is an external drive, that I need to format, not my internal one.
it's not that I want to, but I want to use this drive with a pinnacle
video transfer device, which doesn't need a computer, but will not
work with ntfs drives, only with fat16 and fat32 ones.

Just out of interest, is there a particular reason you want to
do this? You may find yourself in a world of problems, especially with
large files.
If you HAVE to have a partition with the limits of fat32, then
why not use a trial of some partitioner, resize your current NTFS
partition, then format the newly made free space as a fat32 drive?
So you end up with c: ntfs and d: fat32, for example.

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.
