Will that allow a partition bigger than 32g ?
 
You can format it using windows build in tools. They support FAT 32.

@francis511 FAT32 supports drives up to 2 terabytes in size but does not support files larger than 4GB.

Yes I think Windows can only do the 32GB partition but as Grasshopper said you are good to go with GParted,I recently used GParted to format a 250GB drive for a PS3 swap over.
 
thanks i will give it a try
