I just got mine yesterday, and mine came with FAT32 as well. Just look in the instructions, it will tell you how. As a reason TO format, is because with FAT32, your only allowed to upload a maximum of 4gb per file..

you should definately convert it to NTFS.it is far more superior and more secure then FAT32,but you cannot access it from FAT32, only with the proper tools.

peace.
