using the right click format option windows 7 only offers NTFS
one way to do it is use the command line option ............
click Windows/Start orb -> type cmd.exe in the search box -> press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to get an Administrator Command Line , when prompted, press Yes or enter administrative credentials in the UAC pop-up box.
At the command line prompt, enter
format <drive letter>: /FS:FAT32
you will also be asked in the command prompt for the current volume label then the Y/N to proceed prompt
If its larger than 32gb then windows will give an error message "volume size too big" at the end
CompuApps SwissKnife V3 3.17 is not compatible with windows 7
currently looking for something else ...............
what the setting for the sector (?) size?? or cyle size or something like that?
I'm sorry, I don't use Windows native and primitive disk management, but employ a third party toolset for such operations where you get the options to control cluster sizes etc - and would advise anyone else to do the same...
The best partitioning software I've found for W7 is the Easeus offering.
what cluster size do i use for fat32?
i have access to paragon's diskmanager.
i thought partition magic was the best (bust no support for windows7 mehtinks)
confirmed partition wizard does work but kudos to Qdos he found a solution first
