two options as I see it:

1. you can use something like partition magic which will allow you to format partitions any way your heart desires.

or

2. you could use an old windows install disk to format the drive to fat 32 by starting the installation to that drive but not actually installing windows

I'd go with partition magic. It carries a slightly lower probability of catastrophy

Your problem probably lies in the size of the hard drive. At some point, FAT 32 just can't allocate addresses anymore, the actual size of which I cannot remember off the top of my head.

Easiest way is like ned said: get a copy of Partition Magic, shrink/delete the one NTFS partition, and create a new FAT32 Partition on the hard drive.
