DOS FORMAT is a good choice. You can also go to My Computer, and right click on the drive and select format from the menu. Or you can go to the Control panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, then to Disk Management. From there, you can right click on the drive in question and select format. Outside of these options, you can use Partition Magic, Easeus Partition Manager, and nearly any other partitioning software.

The tools provided with Windows 2000/XP/Vista do not allow creating a single partition above 32 GB (for good reasons). You would have to use another tool, such as PartitionMagic or GParted to format the disk.

This usually occurs after formatting or putting a new hard drive into a system and needs to be fidisked. To do this get to a dos prompt usuing a bootable floppy, type in fdisk and partition the hard drive using the on screen options (create new partition)(fat32 for windows 95/98/me ntfs for nt/xp/2000)
