What is the best way to format a USB drive with FAT32 (for Mac compatibility) from within Windows 7/Vista?
I ask because the Disk Management only lets you pick exFAT (because the disk is over 32GB I believe).

I have a 25gig partition in ext4 for ubuntu, an NTFS 25gig partition for W7,a logical swap of 2gig, and then a logical 60 gig partition in fat32 which i've read is the correct file system for files as music, pics, videos i want to share with Windows. The problem is that those files are not "asociated"…
