NTSF is a better and more secure format are you sure you want FAT32? See here at MIcrosoft for an explanation http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307881

There are 3rd party software/freeware programs to convert from FAT16 to 32. However, it would probably be much more advisable to shift to NTFS which is even more efficient and secure than FAT32 (I've tried all three). To do so, there is a program called convert which runs under the command prompt in WinXP.

To answer this question, I would need to know what operating system you are using. ie. win98, Win2K, WinXP etc.
If you are using Win XP here is a website to explain it including taking the next step to NTFS.
Hope it helps.
Good Luck
