I have a 500GB external hard drive that is currently formatted in NTFS. I am looking for third party software that will allow me to format my hard drive in FAT32 using windows vista. Any suggestions?

Answer
I've tried a free tool called "Darik's Boot And Nuke", it will delete contents on your hard drive to beyond recoverable.

It meets the American Department of Defense Standard.

What is the difference between an external hard drive and a portable hard drive?

I need a hard drive to save all my downloads for iTunes on so that I don't use up the computer space. I found an 500gb external hard drive for about 80$, and 160gb portable hard drive for about 110$. What's the difference between an external and portable, because it sounds like the same concept to me.

Answer
they are the exact same but some people don't know the right word
but portable hard drives are pocket sizes kinda like a flash drive but a bit bigger and external hard drive is more of an at home one you plug into the wall. id go with the external 500gb for 80 rather than 160 for 110 500 is allot more and more useful my opinion.
