    if it had readable partitions first and then suddenly become unreadable, I think your external drive is damaged.

    Just go to the Command Prompt and execute the command:
    D:\> CONVERT D: /fs:ntfs
    Where D: is a name of the drive you want to convert. And yes, the correct number of spaces is necessary, so just copy n paste that line into your CMD prompt.
    After machine re-boot conversion process will start and you'll have your FAT32 converted to NTFS without any data loss.
    Yes, you can split your drive into more partitions with Xp, have a look HERE. Good luck :-)
