KO:
Can you provide a clearer picture of what you want to do?
1. The 250 GB HD is a USB 2.0 external hard drive, right?
2. Do you want a single partition encompassing the full capacity of your 250
GB drive?
3. Are you interested in creating *only* FAT32 partition(s)? You do
understand that XP will not allow you to format FAT32 partitions > 32 GB,
don't you? (Although there's a workaround for this).
4. Or, you'd be satisfied with NTFS partition(s)?
5. You're running XP with SP1 and/or SP2, right?
6. Provide a detailed description of how you've attempted to
partition/format that 250 GB drive.
