more specific when I formatted my exfat sd card to fat32 and yes I did put the files in when I boot into Hekate cfw or ofw I can't boot anything up any fixes?
 
secondary question what does the switch format your sd card to when you use the switch to format
Switch formats with FAT32 for cards 32G and smaller. Ninty slapped a buggy exfat driver on there so they could easily format larger SD cards. If you manually format a larger SD card on your PC with FAT32 the Switch will use the preferred FAT32 drivers without issues. You’ve heard the recommendations but feel free to use whichever one you’d like.
 
wait... so if i format my sd card to fat32 and put it in my switch it wont be able to use it but if i format it again but with the switch it will give me the fat32 drivers as if im using a 32 gig sd?

No one said the Switch won't be able to use FAT32 SD cards. The Switch formats the SD card depending on big it is; anything larger than 32 is formatted to exFAT by default. But if the SD card is formatted to FAT32 such as with another tool, it will use the FAT32 format and its associated drivers.
