Paul Deslandes Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 As a long term owner of a DL1 logger I was offered a discount to upgrade to the latest Racetechnology logger because formatting to FAT16 cannot be done using Windows 10 and, I believe, Windows 7 and the old logger won't work with FAT32 or higher.As I've no intention of forking out for a new logger I've been looking for a utility that can be used to format old sub 2GB SD cards to FAT16.Has anyone found a utility to do this reliably?Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlesElliott Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I haven't seen a definitive way of doing it - the most likely involves booting a small Linux kernel and formatting using a utility there. Even when forced to FAT16, the partition is marked as FAT16(LBA) by Windows 10 which the logger doesn't recognise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Deslandes Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hi Charles. I tried forcing it using the command prompt which appeared to work but only for the PC, not the logger, presumably for the reason you've just given. I remembered that one of my machines has good old XP on it as a dual boot alternative to Windows 10, so I can format them on there. Bit of a pain though.All the bestPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
