    Formatting 64GB USB Drive to FAT32


    Is this possible? I've read many threads. I followed these steps:



    B1.Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port.
    2.Click Start, type devmgmt.msc in the Search textbox and press Enter.
    3.Find Disk Drives and expand it.
    4.Find the USB flash drive you want to format, and double-click it. It opens the Properties dialog box.
    5.Click Policies tab.
    6.By default, the Optimize for quick removal option selected, switch it to Optimize for performance and then press OK.
    7. Now open Computer. Right click on the USB Flash Drive and select Format. The Format dialog box now appears.
    8.Select FAT32 in the File System field.
    9.Press Start and wait while the process will be completed.
    10.Now your USB Flash Drive is formatted with FAT32 format.


    Regarding step 8: no, there is no choice for FAT32, only exFAT and NTFS. I thought I had completed a FAT32 format but it hung up at 99% and then closed down with a "Volume too Big" error message.


    My car radio needs FAT32. How do I get there?

    :)

    FAT32 formatting

    If you can plug the drive into a XP system you can partition and format to FAT32 through Drive Configuration. Heres the steps

    1. Click Start and go to your control panel

    2. Go into Administrative Tools and then open up Computer Management

    3. Now click on Disk Management that is located under Storage.

    On the right you should see your drive that you want to format to FAT32. Just right click the drive, select format, and switch partition to Fat32. You may need to delete the volume if it will not let you change to Fat32 and then repartition. I have used this many times.

    Format SanDisk 64GB to FAT32

    Hi WIlson, yes Windows will refuse to format any drive of 64GB or over to FAT32, it will only allow NTFS or ExFAT

    The free version of AOMEI Partition Assistant will format that drive to FAT32 for you with 2 simple clicks
