Can you format this or any USB flash drive to FAT or FAT16? I need it for a TV firmware update. Appreciate an answer.

I've been able to format every thumb drive smaller than 64GB to FATxx. Don't have any reason why this one would refuse the format.

Yes you can format USB flash drive to FAT or FAT16. Be sure to back up your files first. Always back up files before formatting. You can check on youtube for some examples and tutorials.

I'm unsure if that one is available, but you might want to try asking on yahoo.

I believe one can format flash drives for FAT and this shouldn't be any different. Do a Google search and you'll find many examples.

I did not try formatting to FAT32, but the instructions say to simply use the FAT32 Formatter software that comes on the drive and shows up when you first plug it in. It specifically mentions using it for the PS3. Hope that helps.

FAT32 .. I haven't tried it in ntfs, but for most players you want your usb to be FAT32

I agree with CochiseGuy. My BDP-83 only supports FAT32 format and is limited. The BDP-93 does what you want.

The format you use determines computer compatibility of any USB Flash or Hard Disc Device. Fat is universal as far as I know. Linux, Windows and Android can employ it. I believe MAC does too. If you want universal compatibility select Fat32 or NTFS from you MAC formating menu. NTFS and especially FAT are universal. If your Mac format menu has them as choices, MAC can use them.

This will work fine just like any other external USB drive. If you don't want it formatted as NTFS, it can be easily formatted as FAT32 or whatever your need is.

Not sure what an FAT32 is, sorry. All I know is that its pre-formatted for the PS3 and that it backs up downloaded video, music, and photos. I think you you can back up saved game files but not game content. I hopes this helps.

Both NTFS and Fat 32 formatted discs or USB sticks are supported. Cheers! Marty G

Yes it is formatted in Fat 32 but you can reformat to exFAT or NTFS if you would like.

Thanks, Lee. Good info.Finally tried formatting back to FAT16 on my PC... and now the card shows only 1 GB!!! (996MB) Even after multiple re-formats on both the PC and the Mac... trying to format back and forth to FAT 32, and then back to FAT 16... still only 996MB available. Used to be a 2GB card. Now... it's working fine... but walks and quacks like a 1GB card!

You can format it as you wish. Put NTFS, because FAT32 limits the file size to below 4 GB which is fairly useless and negates the real strong point of this stick - lightening and moving huge fils around...

I dunno if it's a formatting thing, but I tried to plug in my portable 120GB external drive, and it blanked. My 1GB stick came up with a menu though, so there's gotta be a size limit somewhere, I just don't know where it it.

I'm pretty sure most external hard drives come formatted in FAT32. If the drive you buy is not, you can easily reformat it yourself. http://www.ehow.com/how_4924445_format-hard-drive-fat.html

Yes, you could format it as a NTFS or FAT32. Mac (as well as Windows obviously) supports both.

Try formating it in other way than FAT32. I use NTFS, which allowes me to copy larger files etc.

Worked fine for me. Didn't work with my 32GB USB, but it worked fine with my 2GB one.1. Plug the USB drive.2. Hit record (the gray button).3. Hit play (the silver button).Here are instructions to format the USB drive for DOS using a Mac computer:http://www.hgst.com/support/faqs/how-format-my-drive-use-windows-and-mac-fat32
