Not sure what Disks are shipped with your Notebook....

If your Notebook is shipped with Restore disks, you need to first insert the Disk in the DVD Drive and close it.

Now, restart the Notebook and start tapping the Esc key which displays the boot order.

Select the DVD Drive as the first boot device and save the settings.

The Notebook will start with the Restore Disk.

Follow the onscreen instructions and complete the reinstallation.

Better if you go with NTFS file system rather than FAT.

However, I am not sure whether you will get an option to select the file system.

Hope this helps...

Hi there, i have a acomata external hard drive, i did format and now its showing me that i have a 7.50GB disk space but actual disk space is 120GB. Can you please help me to find out why is it like that?
format again (assuming your using xp) make sure that the format is FAT-32 or FAT-16 and that the size is 120gb. Then check the drive properties and see if any space has been used. if so how much then post that and i'll work from there.

Iomega fat 32 formatter program does not allow me
If you really must have fat 32 (maybe for MAC use ?) then windows itself does not support doing a fat format on large drives.

However there is a fix Yup thats why they call it FIXYA

Here is a link to just what you need

MY 10 GIG HARD DRIVE IS FUNCTIONING AS A 2 GIG HARD DRIVE, ITS ONLY DISPLAYING ABOUT 2 GIG AND THATS ALL IM WORKING ON, I RECENTLY INSTALLED XP ON IT. WHERE IS THE REST OF THE SPACE? THERE IS ONLY ONE...
Since it is an old drive. It could just been formatted on 2 gig where FAT system that can run using windows OS. Just partition the rest that is remaining, activate it and then format it to make it usable. You can use third party partitioning software if you like. And before I forgot check also its jumper if setting is lock to access on 2 gig only.

Just for input.

I formatted my 1TB usb drive into ntfs want it back to fat32
If this is your bootable drive that windows in installed on you will need to completely reinstall windows to convert it back to FAT 32. If this is a spare drive then you can right click the drive in My computer and go to format and then reformat it as Fat 32.
