Hacking Am I supposed to format my SDHC to FAT16?

[matrix121391]

I read that somewhere in a previous topic and I was wondering if that was what I was supposed to do? If it is, how do I do it? I right clicked on the drive my SDHC was in and clicked Format but under File System, I only recieved FAT32.

I believe you can't put FAT16 on SDHC, as FAT16 has a limit of 2GB.

Sorry about that. That was stupid of me. I didn't do my research and on some topics, people mentioned FAT32 is the only format for SDHC. Sorry!

Well, If you set it to 64kb clusters, it should wotk, that's what I do.

How do you do that? The options under the drop-down lists are very limited and it only offers one option for all categories.

Type 'diskmgmt.msc' into the Run dialog

Oh, yeah, sorry, he's right.

2 GB
4 GB with 64k clusters (not widely supported)

It must've not been supported in 98 then, that's the last time I used FAT16 before my 2GB SD card.
