Default external HDD format to FAT/FAT32

How do you fat32 format a Notebook 160GB HDD in an external case? I
tried the cmd method above and after it formatted for over an hour it
said it was to large.


Confirmed. In fact it was read testing the sourface. Before
it comes to the real format action, it cancels.

For formatting drives 32GB with FAT32 an external
tool is required.
