Formatting Large Hard Disks with FAT32

I badly needed a new external hard disk. My boss gave me one of 150GB — in NTFS.

Darn. I hardly use Windows these days, only GNU/Linux and Mac. And WinXP wouldn't let me format it to FAT32.

Darn darn darn.

Until I came across fat32format. All I did was to issue at the command prompt

fat32format e:

and the hard disk was formatted in, like, what? 2 seconds.

*Blink*.

Wheee!!!
