    Converting or formatting NTFS to FAT32

    I have a 750GB Iomega Minimax drive and have formatted it to NTFS. I have
    then partitioned it into 128GB partitions (for use on a Mac) but want to
    convert or reformat it to FAT32 so I can read and write on both the Windows
    Vista PC and the Mac. When I go into Computer Management and then Disk
    Management and try to format the drive to FAT32 it only gives the option of
    NTFS. A CDROM came with the drive with FAT32 converter on but it doesn't load
    any of the drives when I load the program up.

    So far as i know,Fat32 support upto only 32GB!
    Also FAT32 is more vulnerable to disk crashes.
    Correct Fat 32 will only recognise 32gb size.
    Reduce 128gb to 32gb and try that.
    vista disk management doesn't have the fat32 option, no matter what size
    of a partition.
    FAT32 is limited to 127 Gigabytes under Windows 9x.
    Outside of Win9x, FAT32 partitions can be at least 2 Terabytes.
    There is no "32gb" limitation with FAT32.
    Just have your PS3 format it.
