Use fdisk that came with Windows XP or try using PowerQuest PartitionMagic. If you don't know how to use fdisk (which does not have a very friendly user interface) try PartitionMagic which is very easy to use and lets you do much more than formatting a drive.

Good Luck

remember ! always format [not the quick one] the partition after anything [quick format or conversion].
and yes i recommend PartitionMagic as well. Very user friendly and create the Boot diskettes coz u might need them when booting to DOS when nothing works.
