Oh, I see. I haven't used Windows in a while and wasn't aware. Thanks!
Thank you! Just picked it up last night. No time to really play with it yet, what with work and all.

Totally incorrect information, or just a blatant lie as Ease US works well with drives larger than 32GB.Oh, I see. I haven't used Windows in a while and wasn't aware. Thanks!

Yeah, that's what Knightshade was saying? Windows can't format FAT32 without a 3rd part software like Rufus or EaseUS. Where's the lie, Bill?

The lie is in you saying that Ease US cannot handle creating a partition greater than 32 gb.

I used the gui format tool. Search Google and look for the ridge crop website. That's the official developers site.
IIRC It doesnt require any installation and so just runs by itself, so it doesnt try to get you to install any malware.
It took less than a minute from download to having my drive formatted.

I posted Ease Us telling him he had other options other than Rufus and in the next post you posted I'm sorry, that won't work.
I'm formatting a Samsung T5 (500 GB) to FAT32 in win10 without any 3rd party utility. You have to do it from the command line (powershell run as admin) and then format /FS:FAT32 D: (replace D: with the actual drive letter of your usb drive). It is slow but appears to be working. Is there a known issue with this method?

I see reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, Bill. I'll break down the conversation for you, and then I'm done responding to you.
1. I posted the instructions from the Model 3 Owner's Manual.
2. Knightshade responded to me, saying that the method in the instructions won't work because Windows cannot NATIVELY format FAT32 if the drive is over 32GB. He also gives a suggestion for Rufus software.
3. I respond to Knightshade saying that I haven't used Windows in quite some time, so I was not aware that it could not NATIVELY format to FAT32 on drives over 32GB. I thank him for the information.
That's it. Nowhere in the conversation did EaseUS come up. Hope that clears up your confusion.

After unsuccessfully trying another program , I can confirm that Rufus worked for properly formatting my Samsung 256GB Fit drive
