I was searching for a FAT32 formatting utility as XP doesn't do it, just NTFS. I found this:-

Subsequently I was wondering what the FAT32 limit is and it's 127Gb. If you have probems and your HD is greater than 127Gb (or partition size) maybe trying lower than 127Gb may work.
I'm currently trying a 500Gb drive in a docking station which works when I format from scratch in the P+ and shows the correct size, but doesn't always become 'ready' after unplugging. I want to reformat to 125Gb FAT32 and 125Gb and 250Gb NTFS partitions. I'll post my results here.
