let's say that you want to format your D drive.
Press on the WINDOWS button on your keyboard and the "r" key at the same time. In the windows that will open type "cmd" without the quotes.

You'll have the DOS prompt that will open. Here you type :

"format D: /FS:FAT32"
and again without the quotes

Don't forget to say THANKS

a certain backup manager for a popular console also has the capability to format in several different formats.
