I don't think you can unformat a drive. Did you acidently format the wrong drive?

Do you mean recover files after a format or convert to FAT32??

I think he means he converted a drive from fat32 to ntfs, and now wants to convert it back to fat32 - i don't think you can though.

And that's one good reason why I format all HDD's as FAT32. ;)

Sorry m8, no way of doing it that I know of. :(

I believe that Partition Magic may be able to do it.

if you boot from your xp cd rom and go to re install xp, when you choose which hhd partition you want to install to you can choose to format as fat32
