How to format an external HDD to FAT32

Have you ever wished that an external hard disk could be formatted to FAT32 for some need or just out of curiosity ? You might say that is not possible. because Windows itself does not allow formatting of external hard drives to FAT32 format. But I teach you how you can do it.

An external hard drive or a SATA hard drive with a USB adapter
a PC
GUIFormat program.

Step 1:

Be very careful, because choosing the wrong letter such as C: \ you could erase the hard drive of PC. To give you an idea look at the image below :

"C: \" generally corresponds to the hard disk of the PC that is being used and as you can see there is another hard drive with the letter "D". You can also check to see how much is the external hard drive you connected to know how to choose the right unit. After choosing the drive letter you must reformat only give the "Start" button and wait for the process to finish. WARNING: THE PROCEDURE WILL ERASE ALL HARD DRIVE CONTENT and formatted to FAT32.
