Apparently Windows and the command line still don't like formatting an FAT32 USB device over 32GB. I remember this from Win 2K, but apparently there has been no progress in Win 7. :mad:
There are various 3rd party apps that work in Windows to format the 64GB and 128GB cards, but is there something with a command line or that I could run from a batch file on the desktop? Thanks.

I think there are commands for formatting volumes in diskpart.exe.

e.g.

select disk=2
clean
create partition primary
assign letter=q
FORMAT FS=fat32 LABEL="LMs_Pr0ns" QUICK

... or something like that.
