I need to partition an external HD, with FAT32.



Once upon a time, fdisk listed its possible partition types in a different, clearer way.
The nearest entries now seem to be



10 Microsoft reserved E3C9E316-0B5C-4DB8-817D-F92DF00215AE
11 Microsoft basic data EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7
12 Microsoft LDM metadata 5808C8AA-7E8F-42E0-85D2-E1E90434CFB3
13 Microsoft LDM data AF9B60A0-1431-4F62-BC68-3311714A69AD


but I'm not clear about the difference.

Since you’re partitioning a disk with a GUID partition table, fdisk shows you partition type GUIDs which are appropriate in that context, rather than the MBR partition types you’re used to.



In this particular case, you should choose type 11, “Microsoft basic data”.
