Since the FAT32 is not an option anymore and there's still tons of devices that only accept FAT32. How can I format memory card?

FAT32 formatting

If you can plug the drive into a XP system you can partition and format to FAT32 through Drive Configuration. Heres the steps

1. Click Start and go to your control panel

2. Go into Administrative Tools and then open up Computer Management

3. Now click on Disk Management that is located under Storage.

On the right you should see your drive that you want to format to FAT32. Just right click the drive, select format, and switch partition to Fat32. You may need to delete the volume if it will not let you change to Fat32 and then repartition. I have used this many times.

FAT32 formatting

I've got a hdd (Western Digital WD400 IDE) that has had windows xp on it. I'd like to reformat the drive to put windows 98 on it. It will not boot from the 98 os dics. I've tryed to reformat to FAT32 by installing it into the rig in my sys specs as a secondary drive and reformating it from "my computor". The only format it will offer me is NTFS. What needs to be done to reformat it to FAT32?
