Help formatting HDD to FAT32

Well, this has become more difficult that I had hoped. I bought a 750GB External HDD to back-up my PS3, but I can't get it to FAT32. I'm running Windows Vista, does anyone know a safe way to format my HDD? I've tried using command prompt, and a program called Swissknife. Windows says the HDD is too big, and Swissknife won't run on Vista. If I can't find a solution, I may return the 750GB for a smaller size. Any help is appreciated. :)

Return it for a smaller size. Who needs 750GB? Even 240 GB is enough. Actually, to be honest, even 240 GB is too much. But then again, it depends on the person. If you download every single thing on the PSN network and own every single game, then yeah, you should get 240 or something higher than that. But not 750....I mean 750...that's just way too much.

I think 500GB is the most a PS3 is able to support anyway. At least that's what Best Buy told me when I bought mine a year ago.The-Apostle

I think that it's not possible to do...but are you trying to format it for PS3? It should be atuomatic.IceBlazerX

You can only convert up to 32 GB on a hard drive, that's why it's called FAT 32. What you really want to convert it to is FAT format, which is different and allows you to convert more space.
