Formatting Free Space


Hi,
I have 1 GB of free space (unformatted) at the end of my disk. I want to format it on FAT32 system so that I can share it between windows and linux.
What command should I use to achieve this.
Here is my configuration:

**************************************************************
DEVICE Start End Size(MB) Type
/dev/hdc
hdc1 1 13 102 ext3
hdc2 14 627 4816 ext3
hdc3 628 665 298 linux-swap
666 788 965 Free Space
****************************************************************************


Thankx in advance....
