Your answer is in your post. Go into fdisk and type "n" to create a new parition. It will prompt you for the info. After the prompts are done, type "w" to save and exit. Now run "mke2fs /dev/hdb2" followed by "mount /dev/hdb2 /somedir".

fatresize
FATRESIZE(1) General Commands Manual FATRESIZE(1)
NAME
fatresize -- Resize an FAT16/FAT32 volume non-destructively
SYNOPSIS
fatresize [-s SIZE] [device]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the fatresize
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is
included below. For a complete description, see the Info files.
-h --help
Show summary of options.
-s --size
Resize volume to SIZE[k|M|G|ki|Mi|Gi] bytes
-i --info
Show volume information
-p --progress
Show progress
-q --quite
Be quite
-v --verbose
Verbose (not version)
EXAMPLES
fatresize -s 2G /dev/evms/hdb2
fatresize -q -s 3G /dev/hde6
fatresize -i /dev/hdg3
Size and device is required to run. You can resize device-mapped partitions, e.g. EVMS partitions.
BUGS
You can't resize FAT32 partition lesser than 512Mb because Windows(R) doesn't work properly with small FAT32 file system. Use FAT16.
