    initial v1  
    11Did you tried alpha6 to do that? Format should finish. There was a problem in previous builds that did not finish format after being formatted into FAT32, but subsequent attempt succeeded (see the end of http://trac.netlabs.org/fat32/ticket/14, the bug with failing to set the volume label). This was fixed with alpha6. Also, I did not understood, the format succeeded successfully for you, or there was an error? Opening the disk in FC/2 after that succeeds or not, or it writes an error accessing the disk? Does subsequent format attempt succeed?

     3PS: Also note that format atm modifies the system area only, i.e., boot block, FAT's but not data area. So I had the situation where I reformat the partition to HPFS, then back to FAT32 and see the same data. If you see such situation, you can try wipe'ing the partition by dfsee, like this: 1) set current partition 2) wipe "" 0 <amount of bytes in that partition>
