| | Convert drive from NTFS to FAT32 in Vista I'm trying to convert an NTFS drive to FAT32, but when I try to format, NTFS is the only option available. My Drive is 120GB. How can I reformat in FAT32? |

| | Re: Convert drive from NTFS to FAT32 in Vista I expect you will actually have to delete and recreate the partition then format in FAT32.

| | Re: Convert drive from NTFS to FAT32 in Vista Thank you. I figured out the problem was I couldn't creat partitions greater than 32GB. Once I changed partition size to less than 32GB, the options for FAT32 appeared in the dropdown.
