Just download the bootable live CD of GParted -- I presume it will detect external hard drives connected via USB...

Easeus Partition Master (running as an app in Windows) will format an external USB disk to EXT3.604!0

Not being a BT customer could you explain what BT Overnight is?
Obviously you are downloading to a cache, so it is probably tv or films - but I thought BT provides an on demand service.0 -
BT overnight = BitTorrent over the night0

You can connect to the device, not the filesystem.I don't think that will work - I suspect that you won't be able to write a filesystem that the host OS doesn't understand.
(I also have a Windows XP VM that I use to control a scanner and some other gadgets that don't have Windows 7 drivers.)0
