250GB...FAT32??

I don't think it's possible.

As far as I'm aware, the maximum size for a FAT32 partition is 4GB. I might be wrong though.

Perhaps you could have 62 4GB partitions ;)
 
You can use just about any LiveCD such as knoppix etc if you can't find a program to run from windows.

4GB is the file size limitation. Fat32 partitions can be multiple TB's in size but XP can only format up to 32GB.
 
Thanks for the replies.

I found a program called Swissknife from Compuapps it's freeware and really easy to use. A FAT32 partition can be up to 2TB in size.

I have a portable hard drive which holds 160GB and is formatted FAT32. 4GB is the maximum file size you can move at one time. You can move a 3GB file onto a FAT32 drive just fine, but not a 6GB one.
