XP and file system

Trying to repartition the old 80gb Maxtor HD, on my MSI K8MM s.754 PC, but XP will not show a choice for Fat 32 as I had it set before, gives only NTFS only.

Is there a way for getting FAT 32 on this HD?,      luke

Windows XP wont allow FAT32 on partitions larger than 32 GB. So my guess would be that you would have to partition your 80gigs down to partitions of 32gb or smaller then format the partitions to use FAT32.
