I couldn't format it with the "MP3 Player Utilities" program though, obviously because it saw it as FAT32 but wanted to format it as FAT. Windows reported is as being 3.99GB after the format.

There's something I can't understand, the FAT32 file system as an intrinsic size limit of 4GB for file size, while the FAT16 file system as a 2 GB limit for file size. But it doesn't mean that the max size of the HD is 4 GB for a FAT32 player.
Or probably are you referring to some implementation issues regarding the hw layer?
I'm just trying to understand, it's not a flame.
