Formatting external disk FAT32 >32GB

How do I do this?

- The Disk Manager in XP cannot format above 32GB partitions

- Ranish and other programs can, but they boot from CD/floppy
and then they con't see the external disk as it is on USB...

The internal SATA controller on my Asus P4PE also need drivers so I'm
not sure if it's visible if I hook it up there instead (disconnecting
my old drive) just to format it - and then move it can to the external
case again

Or is there a program that can partition/format FAT32 from inside XP?

 

Ultimate Boot CD boots on a CD & emulates USB.
Great. Everything you may need, especially aefdisk.
Have a look on Google.
I've been using it with USB interface connected to SATA & PATA.

 

There is a little cmdline utility that will format large drives in FAT32
from within Windows, I think it might be called fat32format.exe.
Use it at work to format USB drives for use in Linux.

 

I do have Ultimate boot CD. Do I need to run anything special on it
before starting the Partition Manager, or will the USB support install
automaticly. Is this supported on the 3.4 version or do I need newer?

Partition Magic can do it.

 

It depends on the software you're launching.
If you choose DOS / Linux boot disks (F6 from the main menu) then Free DOS
(F1) or Open DOS (F2) for example, USB drivers will automatically be loaded.
You may define some parameters to tune accurately the interfaces.

With the Hard disk tools (F2 from the main menu), the programs are native so
they don't use any USB driver.

Take care several screens are available by hitting the right and left
arrows. I didn't notice that at the first time.

You seem interrested by "fdisk" and "aefdisk". They're command line programs
accessible under USB interface from Free Dos or Open DOS.

Mine is ver 3.4 as well.

You may also add some other programs onto UBCD. This is another story
needing to edit the ISO image, which I didn't go through yet. It will be my
next step with the integration of Partition Magic8 !
