Is 128GB Too Big for FAT32?
I recently purchased a 128GB Sandisk Ultra Fit memory stick, and I want to format it to FAT32. However, the PC only lets me use NTFS or exFAT formats. How do I enable the FAT32 format?

Have you ever encountered the error "the volume is too big for FAT32" while formatting your USB, SD card, or hard drive? This error occurs when you try to format a storage device larger than 32 GB.
According to Windows limitations, users can't format a USB/SD/hard disk larger than 32GB to the FAT32 file system. In this case, you can try the free disk formatter - EaseUS Partition Master Free. This tool can break Windows limitations and help you format 64 GB or 128 GB to FAT32.
It's simple to use and friendly to beginners. Here is how to format a 128 GB USB:
Step 1: Launch EaseUS Partition Master on your PC after connecting your Sandisk USB.
Step 2: Select the USB drive or SD card partition under the Partition Manager menu, then click "Format."
Step 3: Confirm the message, set the file system to FAT32, and begin the procedure.
If your drive is currently NTFS and contains significant data, you can use the superior NTFS to FAT function in EaseUS Partition Master. This function allows you to convert NTFS to FAT32 without wiping out any data on your disk.
Step 1: Choose the target partition by opening EaseUS Partition Master.
Step 2: Select "Advanced" > "NTFS to FAT" and verify the alert.
Step 3: Apply and carry out the assignment.
