How to set in console in 'format' command parameter /A: more than 8Kb?

[userwin]

Hi,
/A:8192 is the last that works. If I try /A:16384 it failed with error: "bad parameter /A:16384"
The whole command is:
format e: /fs:FAT32 /a:8192

According to the help (format /?), 16000 is the number, not 16384 (regardless the real cluster size afterwards will probably be 16384 bytes).

 

[userwin]

I tried /A:16000 and /A:32000 the same error: "Wrong parameter"

Are you running the cmd as administrator?

Are you running the cmd as administrator?

Yes.

You want to say that you tried what suggest and it works?

Could you not just use disk management? Save all the hassle of trying it through command prompt?

Type format /? at the command prompt and you will see the proper syntax is /a:16K. I have tried this and it works.
