FAT32 Formatter

I needed to take a backup of my PS3 hard drive. The USB drive to backup to must be formatted with FAT32. Windows wont format partitions larger than 32 GB with FAT32 so you'll have to use a third-party utility for that. (The limitation is not due to technical reasons, the limit is strictly artifical to make people stop using FAT32.)

This good utility worked fine for me, in Win 7 64-bit:

Also tried this WDs formatting utility, but that only works on specific WD external drives:
