Hi,

 

I have a 128gb usb stick formatted to fat32, when I connect to usb 1 or 2, it comes up with usb incompatible. I have other usb sticks, both 8gb, one work fine but the other comes up with the same error, is there a specific reason or what am I doing wrong?

 

thanks

Hi,

 

 

No windows 7. My other 8gb and 4gb work fine, just my new 8gb which is a sandisc and 128gb don't work.

Try doing a complete format rather than just a quick format...

PS:  I believe you have to use 3rd party software to format a drive larger than 32GB to FAT32.

for some reason its started to work, I have done nothing different, used a 3rd party to format to fat32 like before, tried one more time and it works now, how bizarre.
