    Disk Management to Format HD

    Can someone point me to a tutorial on how to use Windows XP's disk management tool to format a slaved or external hard drive?

    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,

    Right click on the partition(which you must create first) and choose format.

    Thanks Mike3d.

    I do not want to partition drive. It is 80GB firewire external that I want to format as FAT 32. Do I still need to take some kind of action as far as partitioning?
