Format large Fat32 volumes in Panther

I could have sworn that Disk Utility lets you format volumes as "MS-DOS format", which is in fact FAT32. Check out the "Volume Format" menu choices in the Erase tab.

Format large Fat32

In Apple's DISK UTILITY, if you take one extra step, it should work for most devices that need to see a FAT 32 HDD ... this works on a 500GB and 1 TB HDD ...

Select Partition with ERASE tab in Disc Utility - Select 1 Partition, then bring up ADVANCED and select the FAT 32 Choice and mounting as a DOS selection. Then Select FAT 32 as the Partition choice.

ERASE/PARTITION - should work.
