Hindi ata. Last time I tried, I had around 50 gig free space on my

That's funny. The theoretical limit for FAT32 volumes is 2TB. Did you use the
"-F 32" parameter for mkfs.vfat/mkdosfs? You need to explicitly specify the
FAT size if you're formatting FAT32 volumes. If you don't specify it, the
system will default to FAT16, which only has a limit of 2GB.
Also, don't forget to select the correct partition type for FAT32 on FDISK.
thanks, hope this works, i have tried it with knoppix qparted but i dont
think it works coz with just 5 seconds formatting a 40 gig is over. just
have to try it on console with those options.
