“I have got a 64GB SanDisk Cruzer USB flash drive and it is formatted with exFAT. But my electronic device to which I want to connect the USB doesn’t support exFAT file system and only FAT32 is recognized.
I try to reformat the 64GB SanDisk USB in Windows File Explorer, but find that there is no FAT32 option. I want to know that if there is any other ways that can help me to format the 64GB USB to FAT32 in the HP computer based on Windows 7?”
Windows doesn’t allow you to format partition larger than 32GB to FAT32 and your SanDisk Cruzer USB is 64GB, thus you can’t format the USB to FAT32. If you format it with FAT32in Disk Management, you’ll find there is no FAT32 option; if you format it to FAT32 via Diskpart utility, you’ll be prompted by an error message saying that the volume is too big for FAT32.
In such a condition, AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard is highly recommended. It is a free FAT32 USB formatter, which breaks the limitation of 32GB, enabling you to format 64GB, 128GB, 256GB or even larger USB drive with FAT32 file system. If your 64GB SanDisk Cruzer USB is originally formatted with NTFS file system; it allows you to convert NTFS drive to FAT32 without formatting and data loss.
To format 64GB USB to FAT32, free download AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard at first. Then, follow the detailed steps presented below:
Step 1. Install and run AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard. Find out the 64GB USB, right click the partition on it and choose “Format Partition”.
Step 2. It will pop up a small window. In the drop-down file system menu, choose FAT32 and then click “OK”.
Note: In this window, it is available to change cluster size of this partition or add partition label to it if you want.
Step 3. You’ll be back to the main console. Confirm your operation and click “Apply” and “Proceed” to commit it.
It is obvious that you can’t format SanDisk Cruzer 64GB USB to FAT32 via Windows built-in tools like File Explorer or Diskpart utility. Fortunately, you can turn to this USB format tool – AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard.
