Hi everyone,

I’m trying to format my SanDisk pen drive to FAT32, but I’m running into some issues and not sure what I’m doing wrong. In File Explorer, when I right-click and choose Format, FAT32 doesn’t even show up as an option — only exFAT and NTFS. Disk Management was also checked, but that didn’t help either.

Is there a reason why FAT32 isn’t available for this USB size? How to format a 64GB USB drive to FAT32? Any help or step-by-step advice would be really appreciated.

@Jennifer9527 That means Windows does not support formatting the drive as FAT32.
