Format External Hard Drive to FAT32 in Windows

Post by Stany Buyle »

I was trying to format a large external USB hard drive to the FAT32 file system to use for TV video recording but it does not work in the classic formatting ways that windows shows you. With drives bigger than 36 Gb you do not have any other options to format than NTFS or exFat. While those file formats aren't recognised by my TV system, so I did a search on the internet.

Online Tech Tips brought me the solution.

And it was the seagate DiscWizzard program that worked the best.

I'm recording now on my 500Gb WD external now without any problems. :D :D :D

Kindest regards,
Stany
