NoBoMac Moderator Staff member Jul 1, 2014 6,762 5,651 Apr 28, 2018 #3 FAT32 can go to 2TB, "old" FAT is limited to 32GB. Maybe selecting the partition vs the actual stick/drive? Might try reformatting via "Erase" button. If Erase does not work, might try following. Adjust accordingly for your device. https://www.michaelcrump.net/the-magical-command-to-get-sdcard-formatted-for-fat32/
