alchresearch   214 #16 Posted November 12, 2013 Try a smaller card (2Gb) to start with if you're not sure.  As they come free with phones you can find them almost anywhere.  Or format the card in the tablet and plug the tablet into the PC if you can and see if it will see the card.

geared   318 #17 Posted November 12, 2013 There's a size limit on the FAT32 formats you can do  must be something wrong with your windows 7  I know how to use it thanks ... no option for FAT32,only NTFS...  Hi Windows 7 will format an external partition to FAT32, as long as it's 32GB or less  Seems like we're going in circles here, the problem is the 32GB limit on FAT32.  Larger memory cards or sticks are very common now, and it's pretty annoying that Windows will only do those in NTFS or exFAT.  But a 3rd party app can solve that, and you can use it again in a bunch of other devices.
