What to do when you can't format USB to FAT32!

On Windows, USB larger than 32GB cannot be converted to FAT32.

With Partition Assistant, even 64 GB can be easily converted to FAT32!

... Read moreWindowsでUSBをFAT32にしたいのに、フォーマット画面に「FAT32」が出てこない(選択できない)ことがあります。私が最初にハマった原因はシンプルで、Windows標準のフォーマット機能は“32GB以上のドライブをFAT32にしにくい(基本できない)”仕様だからでした。 まず確認したいのは「なぜFAT32にしたいか」。FAT32はWindows・Mac両方で互換性が高く、車載機やゲーム機、テレビの録画/再生など“相手側がFAT32指定”の場面で強いです。一方で大事な制限があり、1ファイル最大4GBまでしか保存できません。ISOや高画質動画などを入れるなら、exFATの方が向くことも多いです(互換性も高めで容量制限も実質なし)。 それでもFAT32が必要な場合、私がやったチェックは次の通りです。 1) USBの容量とパーティション構成を確認 「ディスクの管理」でUSBが32GB超か、複数パーティションになっていないかを見ます。FAT32を選べないのは容量要因が多いですが、パーティションが変則的だとフォーマット自体が失敗することもありました。 2) 既存データをバックアップ フォーマットは中身が消えるので、必要なデータは先に退避します。 3) Windows標準で無理なら“FAT32対応ツール”を使う 32GB以上をFAT32化したいときは、FAT32フォーマットに対応したパーティション管理ツールを使うのが早いです。私の場合は、Partition Assistantのようなツールで「ファイルシステムをFAT32に変換/フォーマット」を選ぶと、64GB以上でも選択できて作業が進みました。操作の流れは概ね、USBを選択 → FAT32を指定 → 実行(適用)という形です。 4) 4GB制限の“解除”はできない前提で考える 「fat32 4gb 制限 解除」を探しがちですが、FAT32仕様そのものなので解除はできません。4GB超のファイルを扱うなら、exFATにするか、ファイルを分割するのが現実的です。 最後に、用途別の選び方の目安です。 ・互換性重視(機器がFAT32指定)→ FAT32 ・大容量ファイルを持ち運ぶ(動画/ISO)→ exFAT ・Windows専用で堅牢さ重視 → NTFS 「USBがFAT32でフォーマットできない」「FAT32がない」と出たら、まずは容量と用途(4GB制限)を確認して、必要ならFAT32対応ツールで作業するのが一番スムーズでした。
