I am trying to format an external hard disk to FAT32 (I need it to work with some hardware that expects it to be in FAT32). When I am trying to format it via Windows the only option get is to format it to NTFS.
When I am trying to format one of my own partitions (on the hard disk that is running the OS) I can do it only in NTFS while another partition my OS can format in both NTFS and FAT32.
What can cause such a behavior and how can I format the external hard disk to FAT32?
I tried to format my 64 GB USB drive using this approach on Windows 10 and it has failed with an error message: "The volume is too big for FAT32. Format failed." This operation has left the USB drive unformatted (RAW). – krm – 2020-01-19T18:36:44.523
