Don't use DOS for large hard drives. Don't use Computer Management either.
Use:
http://tokiwa.qee.jp/EN/Fat32Formatter/index.HTML
Download and run as instructed.
This will format a drive of any size in one (or more if desired) partition. Remember that files larger that 4GB will not be recognised in FAT32 format. So break larger files up.
I ran mine in 'quick format' and it did it in seconds (otherwise it takes hours). Works perfectly.
Hope this helps.

Good Day, To reformat a Memorex Travel Drive, simply open Computer Management by right-clicking the My Computer icon and choosing Manager. Go to Disk Management while your Travel Drive is plugged into a USB port. Next select your USB disk by scrolling up and down the list of drives. Be careful to only select the USB drive by verifying its capacity. You will then need to right-click the USB drive and choose Partition. Be sure to specify the correct size allocation. You will finally be able to format the drive after you first partition it. I formated my Travel Drive under FAT32, which is accessable under Windows XP. Regards, Keith
