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!!

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.

    I love it for most things most stores you just shows the receipt online and they scan it

    Makes it easy for incompetent restaurant staff that don't know how to hear an order
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Mostly for big purchases, I want it in my hands before I pay. Like a tv, I trust picking it up myself, before I'd trust it being sent thru mail/delivery. (Broken screen, etc) But yea if I can order online, then pickup at store is ok, but not all places offer that.

    Thing is, if you break it driving back to your house, it's your fault. But if the delivery driver damages it, it's not your fault.

    Most people that haul big tvs have empty trucks or know enough not to set it face down
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Then I gotta send it back and wait another week or two. I have a pickup truck, with a extended cab, so no prob for me.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most manufacturers pack it well enough where they aren't that dumb to let it happen
