I have a 1TB Portable HDD and need to format it as FAT32, I tried doing it through command prompt and got the error "The volume is too big for FAT32". Is it possible to format a 1TB drive as FAT32 and if so, how?

why FAT32? Systems that used FAT32 are too old for 1TB

Case: NZXT phantom CPU:I5-4460 GPU:MSI-GTX1070 Gaming X RAM:2x4Gb-DDR3-HyperX fury MOBO:Asus Z97-P HDD:Toshiba 1Tb 7200rpm PSU:Sentey650W

That's weird, how old are them? I personally have an Lg tv with no issues trying to read NTFS

To those in the future wondering, it can easily be done through Acronis TrueImage if you have any WD drive in your system (You get free Acronis TrueImage is you have WD)
