I am trying to format an external hard disk to FAT32 (I need it to work with some hardware that expects it to be in FAT32). When I am trying to format it via Windows the only option get is to format it to NTFS.

I have two My Book Essential 1 tb USB 2.0 drives. Exactly the same. Both work fine but Windows will only one of the large storage spaces/drives at a time. It shows both SmartWare drives but only one Image partition or major partition at a time. Both have the lights working on the front of the drives. I have them plugged in the front USB slots but tried one in front and one in back but this did not change anything. The Device Manager shows both, but Computer Management only shows one.

Like I said, " Only one shows up in Computer Management" at a time. They both show up in the Device Manager, Not in My Computer. The only part of both the show up at the same time is the Smart Ware partition/software. Nothing else shows up when both are plugged in at the same time.

Well, that will be accomplished only if you follow the steps I have given you already. First you need to get the drives with different names ( connecting one name it eject drive, connect the other one name it, then connect the 1st drive back).

But at this point I am stuck. I do not see how to install the grub menu permanently again. Commands like update-grub or grub2-mkconfig (run from the live stick) require not to be run from the live stick. I tried chroot, but was not successful. All manuals that I found assume that one Linux OS is still installed, which seems to be the "basis" of chroot. I want to get a running Windows-only configuration. Right now it would be ok if it is with a Grub bootloader.It would be better to use the Windows bootloader, but I seem not to be able to start the recovery mode despite hitting F8 on Windows boot and also have no Windows recovery media.

So does someone have a clue on how to permanently add the windows boot entry to Grub in this scenario? A quick workaround which does not require me to type the five commands on every boot would also be fine. Thanks :-)
