I'm using a 64Gb Sandisk USB3 stick, and attempting to format it FAT32 on my Windows computer. I read this: and followed the instructions here: and it took ages but resulted in this - code PS C: WINDOWS system32 format /fs:fat32 g: Insert new disk for drive G: and press ENTER when ready.
The type of the file system is FAT32. Verifying 57.8 GB The volume is too big for FAT32.
In this video, i will show you how to run your Games/Roms from an external drive like a USB stick or USB hard drive. RetroPie Wiki https://github.com/RetroPie. Step 2 – “Fix” the USB stick. Select the “port” that holds your USB stick (2) – if you see more than one, simply remove the Apple USB Restore stick, wait until it disappears from the list, and reinsert it. Now select the newly added “port”, which would be your Apple USB Restore stick.
Format failed. PS C: WINDOWS system32 /code Any ideas of what else I could try please? Does exFAT work with the Pi / retropie? Yeah, gparted is a handy tool. I really would only use the command line if necessary.

I had a 64GB thumb drive the other day that gparted just would not recognise to allow me to format it. The command line tool worked a treat in that case. For everything else I would use gparted also.
I also have a live bootable gparted USB I use to manage partition sizes on my dual boot laptop which is incredibly useful. (The Windows partition just keeps getting smaller and smaller. I don't even need to open windows anymore as I have the windows partition mounted in Debian. The last time I opened it by mistake the damn thing spent half an hour updating!).
