Format Flash drive

[frozenfire0808]

How do you format a flash drive to FAT32? I'm using a 1 Gig that i dont care about before I try to format a 500 gig external hard drive to FAT32 so my Playstation 3 will recognize it

where does gparted show up at? I have already searched applications and system tools

[niqmk]

System->Administration->Partition Editor

for install:
sudo apt-get install gparted

[frozenfire0808]

I did that but the following showed up and i still don't know where to look

gparted is already the newest version.

linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic libswt3.2-gtk-java libitext-java
libswt3.2-gtk-jni linux-headers-2.6.24-19
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
