Hi,

My computer is running Windows XP Professional with 40gb Hard disk using
FAT32. Yesterday I bought another WD 80gb Hard disk and format it to 32gb
NTFS as D drive. How to reformat it to 80gb under FAT32 ??

Thanks
Jimmy
 
Use a Windows 98 startup disk.

But WHY. NTFS is much better, faster, more secure and less wastefull of space.

You'd have to do that with a third party software. XP will only format up
to 32gb partitions in FAT32. However is there a reason for the FAT32, NTFS
is more stable and more efficient.
