Default [Resolved] NTFS To FAT32 Help

Hey

I just got a 500 GB External HDD, and I formatted it but the only choice was to turn it into an NTFS one, the thing is that its also a DVR so I can play the files on the TV without the PC, but it has to be in an FAT32 partition. Do you guys know anything of how to make this happen?

Thanks

Ah not to worry, I found a solution. Seems Microsoft hates FAT32, but there was one lucky program that managed to work for me, it can be downloaded here:

I figured it wouldn't be Vista compatible, but luckily it was. Thanks anyway guys.
