Ok so this is new thread for this https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/326247-Philips-5990-need-advice-on-what-HDD-to-get
I will be getting a WD 2TB HDD and I want to fomat it to fat32 and divide it (partition) into 2 equall halves. I will be doing this with swissnife and kind of need a step by step to follow so that both parts will be formatted to fat32.

What os are you running?If you are on vista or win7 you can do this through the administrative tools/disc management of the start menu.

Oh sorry about that. Yeah I'm on Windows XP. I already have swissnife installed. I have only used it once before and it was to format a smaller (older) hdd to fat32 and that wasn't too bad as I was only formating the whole thing to fat32 so that is why I'm asking for help.

As administrator; from the start menu, right click "my computer", left click "manage"
"Computer Manager" will launch
select "disk management"
muddle your way through repartioning the drive then use guiformat

or I guess Swiss army knife (which I don't know)
Alternatively, live boot a Linux distro like Puppy and use gparted. You won't loose any data that way. Warning takes ages.
