How to format external USB Drive to Fat 32
Published by admin at 4:09 am under Linux Administration
When I purchased my first external USB drive, I wanted immediately to add it to my Linux system. Yet, no matter how hard I tried, rebooting my hard drive over and over again, Linux just did not want to automatically recognize my new, shiny USB drive.
I spent several hours on Internet searching for answers, but could not find an easy one. I just did not know what else I could do. Thank heaven for good friends! One of them helped me. And the answer was so easy, that I purchased 2 more external hard drives and added them to the same system.
Here is the answer. Type the following:
fdisk /dev/sda
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 128 MB, 128974848 bytes
4 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1015 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 248 * 512 = 126976 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
Command: n “Create new partition!”
p “Create primary partition!”
Partition number (1-4): 1
First cylinder: (enter for default)
Last cylinder: (enter for default)
Command: t
Hex code (type L to list codes): b
Command: a “Make partition #1 active!”
Partition number (1-4): 1
Command: p
Disk /dev/sda: 128 MB, 128974848 bytes
4 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1015 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 248 * 512 = 126976 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 1015 125829 b FAT32
Command: w “Write table to disk and exit!”
Format the USB drive with a FAT filesystem.
mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sda1 “It will work with FAT32″
That is all there is to it, really…
