My 8 GB stick is already formatted in Fat32 format (according to my
PC). However I'd love to reformat it on my PandaRO using !FAT32Form,
but how can I if it doesn't show up on the iconbar at all?
Interestingly, it does show up on the iconbar if I boot the computer
with the stick already in a USB socket, but clicking on the icon tells
me 'The disc drive is empty', and running !FAT32Form delivers the same
message.
I'm stuck!
Chris.
