    Default Format NTFS to FAT32 on Windows 7??

    hi

    how do i go about formatting my external hard drive to FAT32 using windows 7? i have only 2 options "NTFS" & "exFAT" i need it to be FAT32 so the PS3 can pick it up, i've read it cant be done on windows 7 and that formatting can be done up to 32GB something like that anyway

    is there a 3rd party software that will allow me to format it to FAT32?

    thanks in advance.

    PS if in wrong section can mod move to the right place, thanks.

    Use Easus partition master to format your drive

    i used Acronis instead, going to test it now, if not successful will use Easus partition master

    for some reason not showing the hard drive in my computer, going to try on another PC

    tell me about it, im going to throw my computer out the window along with the others, driving me insane, mine is fine, its just others that are doing my head-in.

    ive heard about the swiss knife, that Acronis seems to have sorted it out for me.
