Code:

format X: /fs:FAT32

where X: is the drive letter u want to format.

However, what is the size of the partition that you want to format ? You cannot format a partition with size greater than 32GB in FAT32 file system.

I am not measuring my PC performance..
But actually it takes a lot time to start up N shut down & also it is slowed down quite...

That's surely due to crapped XP....re installing it would solve the prob...
