Reformating 80GB HDD?

I recently upgraded the HDD in my PS3 (from 80GB to 320GB) and I have a 80GB SATA HDD thats free now. I bought a HDD enclosure (acomdata tango), but its not mounting to the computer. It makes the ping sound, but the drive doesnt appear. After checking it out (I now know about the Disk Manager) I've found you have to reformat it, but the only option is to format it in NTFS, but I want it to be FAT32 so the PS3 will still read it for backups/transfering pictures and music etc...How do I do this?

Update:

I'm using Windows XP
