Barracuda 7200.10 320 Gig w/ AZIO usb 2.0 enclosure won't format FAT32
 
Windows disk management, partition magic, and seagate disk wizard will
format this drive only as NTFS. I got it to use as an OSX/XP drive. It
formatted as NTFS just fine. The drive is SATA II, and the enclosure
has an eSATA connector too. Thanks for the help!

Too big partition can only be formatted NTFS

There's plenty of other stuff that will format it FAT32.

One obvious example is a DOS boot floppy, readily
downloadable if you dont have one handy.

The knoppix live CD will format it fine too.

Those are irrelevant, its just the size that stops
XP disk management formatting it FAT32.
