How to Format an External Hard Drive with Reliable Software?

Questions

Case 1

I have an external hard drive, with which I used to store some personal files and the backup of the operating system and some necessary applications. However, it has been attacked by some serious virus. Then, I decide to format it with the Windows Disk Management, but during the process of formatting, the formatting operation just stops when it has been completed just six or seven percent. In this case, is there other formatting software? And how can I format external hard drive?

Case 2

In order to play some game like PS3 and Xbox 360, I have bought an external hard drive of 200GB. However, it can not boot the game after I move the necessary files into it. Then, I searched on the Internet, and I know that it is the result of the file system. The file system of my external hard drive is NTFS, but the game can only work with the file system of FAT32. What's worse, the Windows Disk Management can only format hard drive smaller than 32GB. Thus, how can I resolve this problem?
