USB cannot be formatted?
Beautiful good day,
I recently purchased a 64GB Intenso USB stick. I'd like to copy my music collection onto the stick and play it on my car stereo. I know from personal experience that my car stereo works best with the FAT32 file system. However, I can only format the stick in exFAT and NTFS using my Windows file manager. Neither of these formats works on my stereo.
How can I format my stick in the FAT32 system?
Thank you
Try the Sick with Fat32format to format. But watch the stick.
I just tried this, but it didn’t work with the Fat32Formatter, there are other software?
There is EaseUS Partition Master, but this is annoying with the purchase version and you don’t have to download or install it:

As an alternative, GParted offers:

there a live USB stick or CD must be created because GParted is based on Linux.
Hey,
that is because under Windows a FAT32 partition can be a maximum of 32GB. This can be handled as far as I know, but is not possible via the Windows Explorer.

Of course you can also take a USB stick with 32GB or larger. You just need to partition it properly. You should do that anyway, because more and more often things are delivered with NTFS – and NTFS is only supported by few car radios.
Windows disk partitioning is only suitable to a limited extent.
Of all the partitioners I used so far, I like “MiniTool Partition Wizard”. There is it permanently free in the free variant (for your purposes everything is sufficient). Not frighten because the program has some more functions – actually it is easy to use. If necessary, reduce the partition (only if necessary) and format your stick in FAT32 or exFAT.
Windows only allows formatting disks with a maximum of 32 GB as FAT32. To use this file system on a larger disk, you need the following programs:

Per cmd with fsdisk would have to work smoothly
Yes,
then take a stick that has no more than 32GB.
FAT32!
Do you understand?
You get so many songs that you can’t listen to them all.

FAT32 refers to 32bit and limits the maximum size of a file to 4GB the partition limit is officially 2TB
