    Hello, I am looking for a portable FAT32 hard drive, one that does not require its own power supply, but draws it from the USB. I am aware of the limitation of FAT32.

    Cheap as possible, thanks.

    just find your external drive, and you can format it after as FAT32

    Yeah, I have been trying this. Windows doesn't seem to like doing this, I spent all last night trying the "solutions" I found on the various fora and blogs I found. Just wondering if anyone knows a specific drive out there.

    Maybe try deleting all partitions first from DiskManagement, then add one (or more, if you like) and format from blank.

    SwissKnife is also good at formatting a hard drive to FAT32, as said above any drive will work
