I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to format a 750GB from NTFS into FAT32
in Windows 7?

A quick Google search, which you could have performed yourself, returned this link under its first hit.

Having gone though the same process before, I would recommend EASEUS Partition Master 4.0 Home Edition. It's a pretty good tool, and it allows you to partition the drive without reformatting.

Its for media use on an XBOX 360 only and that is all it will be used for so I Do not really nee to partition it. But thanks anyway Xeruss.

I personally don't trust sites like that ... probably just me. The official site has a GUI version available as well which is probably better for Windows users

If you're in Windows 7, and are working with a hard drive that isn't the one you're operating on, and it's attached...

Start --> type MMC --> enter

From the console root;

File --> Add/remove snap-in --> Disk Management.

From there, you can delete the volume, recreate it, and format it as a fresh FAT32.

Since Windows 2000, there's a 32GB restriction on FAT32 volumes. It's arbitrary and can be bypassed by other formatters like fat32format

Oh, I wasn't aware of the limit on FAT32, so I thought Disk Management would work.
