What operating system are you currently using? Sounds like Win95 from
the message (since you mention FAT32). You could use FAT32 on the new
drive and keep FAT16 on your main drive if you want. However, you might
find it easier to stick with FAT16 all around and just deal with the
extra logical drive.
The fdisk program is a DOS application that sets up partitions on your
hard drives. You need to use it first to create the partition(s), then
use format to make them usable. After those steps you should be able to
use the drive. I'm no expert on fdisk, so I don't know exactly what
options you need to use. I'm sure you can find that info on the web or
someone else in the list will chime in.
Good luck!
