Western Digital 250GB MyBook External USB 2.0 250 GB Hard Drive Format usb 250 gb external storage My problem is that I am using the HP USB Storage Format Tool to format this storage drive to Fat32 and at the same time, I want to make this drive bootable so that I can connect PCs at work that I need to re-image or be able to ghost an image. But the tool keeps cancelling/failing saying that the drive is too big. What do you guys say?

Format it with NTFS. FAT32 is limited to a max file size of 4gb and goes wacky with a drive size more than 62 GB..
