I still dont understand why you would want fat32.
But back in the day i used to use the xp disk and at boot i would run fdisk.
Been a long time though as its just not needed anymore i thought.
I think the new linux live disks only do NTFS but they may do fat32. I know 2008 and before they did anyway.
I reinstalled my 7 machine today actually.
Full format and repartition. No problems obviously. So it does confuse me a little.
And additionally i noticed in another thread you said you could not format a partition unless it was going to install on that partition.
Thats not the case either. I made and formatted my partitions today from the 7 disk.
