Formating sound card

kayale said:

I have a Sangean DAR-101 digital audio recorder. It uses SDHC memory cards. The instruction book says the card must first be formatted to FAT-32 before it can be used. It says this can be done on a computer but gives no instructions on how this is done. Can someone help me out here? I have a computer with Win-10.

Thanks- John Kayale

Hi, Kayale, look at this video:
How to format an SD card on your Windows 10 computer - YouTube
It is quite simple just plug the card in the computer slot and do not forget that Format will completely erase your card.

Hope this helps

John,

You might find that your SD card is already formatted to Fat32 when you get it.

Consumers can only format disks up to 32GB to Fat32 but the specialist utilities available to card makers*** enables them to format much larger cards to Fat32.
- I just bought a pair of new USB memory sticks today and they were both Fat32 despite being 64GB & 128GB.

*** Some of these specialist utilities are available on the web for consumers to use but I have never tried any of them.
