Default How do I format my hard drive with FAT32 when...

...I'm running Windows XP? Do I need a FAT 32 exe file? I just bought Tvisto Lite (a 2.5" multimedia hard drive enclosure from Galaxy) and put in a Hitachi Travelstar 160 GB hard drive (HTS541616J9AT00 on newegg.com). I formatted it using Windows XP, which formatted it using NFTS. When I hooked it up to the TV, it cannot read the information I downloaded. The user guide tells me I have to format it with FAT32. I can't find a way to do that with XP. Do I need a driver or a FAT32 file or something? Galaxy's e-mail and phone number have not helped yet. I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks!

You would only have to reformat it, where it will give you the option of FAT or NFTS. I know, cause I just did it friday and I have XP. You'll only need to put in your recovery disc and follow the directions.
