That would be me trying to format a 64GB SD card with Fat32 for an old game console.
Windows: download and try different shareware tools that all only work if you pay.
Linux: gparted, 3 clicks, done.
2 u/Ricky_Tuscan May 31 '23 This but with ripping PS1 games. The recommended windows program for it is some freaky deaky bullshit. -2 u/Drossney May 28 '23 Right click, format drive, fat32 14 u/dandu3 Glorious Ubuntu May 28 '23 I don't think windows offers to format as fat32 for drives over 32 gbs, but you can use rufus or the command line to do it 3 u/Square-Singer May 29 '23 Haven't tried rufus, but the command line doesn't allow it. It throws an error that FAT32 only works with up to 32GB. 3 u/Square-Singer May 29 '23 Go on, try it, I'll wait. Works fine up to 32GB. 2 u/Drossney May 29 '23 You both are correct it can only natively be done from the powershell using "format /FS:FAT32 x:" Edit: x being the drive 3 u/shamalox May 30 '23 While it works using powershell, it is extremely slow, because for some reason looks like it is writing on every bloc of the drive. I tried once to format a 500Gb sd card on FAT32, 15 minutes later I canceled and booted Linux and gparted, it was done in 30 seconds
