How do I setup my new SD Card?

[Savverlite323]

I have a Sandisk 64GB Ultra SDXC

I already have the soft-modded files, the games and they work. I have them in an unbranded but has the reese's logo 8gb flash drive which works perfectly
and I also have a RiData 2gb sd card that only has the soft-modded files and also works perfectly
I have wiiflow and usbloader gx (Also planning on getting the wad manager and also add gamecube games hehe)

My problem is
I need help with my SD card and I don't know how I should format it. I know the FAT32 GUI Formatter and heard it works but I don't know where its official website is as I kept seeing http websites which are unsafe and I've been traumatized by them. If there is an even better formatter please recommend me with its original website

I also don't know if I should partition it into 2 partitions?? or leave it as is?

I am asking this because I want my SD card to be as optimal and less problematic.

Thank you in advance!!

Just get it from here: http://ridgecrop.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm

Leave the card as one single partition. Format it, copy the contents from the working card to it, add some games eventually and you're good to go.

You can also use this :
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/hp-usb-disk-storage-format-tool/

Simply unzip & run as admin (no install needed).
You may need to use Win's Diskpart to unlock it. Usually, format (with Win) to NTFS, then run the above HP-Formatter & format to Fat32.

BTW - You can go higher than 64gb. 512gb works good.
Partitioning = Leave-well-enough-alone

I am assuming that your 64gb SD is a micro ?
HP formatter is for USB only, but if you place your micro SD into a USB adapter (they're cheap), then you're on the right track.
