Is it possible at all?

NTFS is made for media of a very large size… gigabytes…terabytes…
It is a VERY bad option to use on a thumb drives or SD cards

I’m trying to make a datalogger with an external harddrive.

Thanks for the quick reply :slight_smile:

Then you need to format your hard-drive FAT32.

So whats the largest address space for FAT32 that FEZ does?

Google is the way for all answers :wink: It will save you and us the extra work. Just search for “fat wikipedia”

it is about 2 terabytes I think …so you have nothing to worry about.

You can always make a partition FAT32 that is size x and the rest can be anything else

Thanks for your help :slight_smile: Just wanted to make sure that FEZ/USBizi had no specific FAT size limit.

When you use the .Format(“FAT”, 0) does it format fat16 or fat32? I need to format fat32. MS doc is extremely vague on this subject.
