Could be true, who actually formats using FAT32 on large drives anyway?

HDD came preformatted to FAT32.

Figured that was the case, it seems most external drives come preformatted with FAT32, regardless of size... anyone know of a free tool to convert NTFS to FAT32 w/o formatting? I know Windows has a built in function to do the opposite...
