In my case Disk 6 is an 8GB micro SD-card. This will give an overview of al disks (HDD, SSD, SD-cards, etc) in your system. And in the Diskpart window run the list disk command. If you have not yet put you SD-card in your PC, do it now. Diskpart.exe will open in his own screen. Start diskpart, you will get a warning, accept yes, as you do want to make changes to your SD-card. Type cmd in the search field a, the Command Prompt App will be your best match, press enter and you are ready. On your Windows machine open a command prompt by select the search option next to Windows Start menu on the bottom left of your screen. And that’s a challenge as on Windows 10 the FAT16 option is no longer available in the GUI when you put in a “large” micro-SD card, lets say 8GB or more which is already formatted with FAT32 or NTFS.īut no worry, we can use diskpart to prepare and format the SD-card with FAT16.

My current 3D printer is only able to handle FAT16 formatted micro-SD cards.
