Default 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!
