Windows does not like a FAT32 drive bigger than 32GB. I can easily format a large HDD as FAT32 using freeware. However i want to create an image of my PS3 40GB FAT32 HDD.
While Windows recognises a connected FAT32 drive, as far as it is concerned, it is unallocated (rather than formatted as FAT32).
Is there a way i can get Windows to recognise the HDD as FAT32 so that I can image it, and possibly even use a FAT32 HDD for data storage?
(I have googled, all results seem to be about formatting only :()
