Check out gparted (GUI for parted) - It can format to FAT32.
>From the parted man page:
parted mkpart part-type [fs-type] start end
Make a part-type partition with filesystem fs-type (if
specified), beginning at start and ending at end (by
default in megabytes). fs-type can be one of "fat16",
"fat32", "ext2", "HFS", "linux-swap", "NTFS", "reiserfs",
or "ufs". part-type should be one of "primary", "logi‐
cal", or "extended".
Regarding the encrypted partition; what is stopping you? I think that
is the normal configuration of LUKS - If I understood the original
post correctly you want to dualboot encrypted Win and Debian, right?
So two encrypted partitions should do the trick, or is there something
I'm missing?
Cheers,
