Format usb drive as fat32 windows 109/2/2023 In my honest opinion a better, easier way is to just boot to a Linux live CD like Knoppix. ![]() So before you waste your time running format : /FS:FAT32, run format : /FS:FAT32 /Q. Run the same command with the /Q switch for a quick format and it gives you the "too big" error immediately. Here's what really doesn't make sense, though. It would have been nice for the system to do a simple check when when the command was first launched so I wouldn't go to sleep thinking I'd wake up in the morning to a fully formatted FAT32 80GB drive. The reason? "The volume is too big for FAT32". The annoying thing was that it took an hour to fail. While the built-in command line method in Windows 7 Ultimate ( format : /FS:FAT32) started running without a problem, it failed to complete. It is only capable of quick formats (no zeroing/checking), but it is very fast. One good solution is the command-line program fat32format.exe available from Ridgecrop Consultants or their gui.
