    Glad you got it sorted. Not all fat32 formatters will work since many had hardcoded 2tb caps.

    Looks like 32k was selected, probably needed 64k for 6tb

    FAT32 limts goes to 16tb on drives with 4k sectors, that will be every drive above 2.3tb.

    That should be fine, the more you have the longer it takes. If you let it sit there a few minutes does it come up?

    Ok the 5tb i had was WDBKUZ0050BBK, it worked but its junk because of the writing tech. If anyone has the problematic drives you should try using the FAT32_GUI_Formatter.exe that modmii can download and set Allocation unit size to 32768 or 65536. It should make you drive use full capacity... if...

    I didnt even realize this was an issue with larger drives. I have never had one that didnt work properly in the loader after being formatted correctly where at least windows sees the full capacity. The fat module in this loader had larger cluster support added a long time ago, but something like...

    Sorry, i meant it needed a format with a larger cluster size to make use of larger than 2tb, ill see if i can find the chart i used when dicking around with these drives.

    Probably all of them show as 2tb if you format fat32 with default sector size, WDBA3A0040BBK-WESN is still sold but you need a format util that does 32k or 64k sectors to use 4tb in fat32. Pretty sure the fat32 formater modmii gets can setup the drive.

    it's probably a good time to run disk checks if strange things are happening after doing the update into a fresh folder... its going to create configs, cache and download covers etc based on what it can read at the time.

    Wish he would push his latest code to his github. Before he disappeared he said he was finishing up a new release.
