[QUOTE="Stretch, post: 329448, member: 25432"] To format it, yes, you need to erase it first, and select your format there. Fat32 is listed as MS-DOS in the format list. You need to make all the partitions now, otherwise you will have to erase, and reformat it later, unless you buy one something like Partition Magic, I think it is. [/QUOTE]
