Note: Save the entire directory structure of your card first, so you can copy it back. Im not sure if switching from fat16 to fat32 will allow you to upgrade without first deleting all of the files.

FORMAT volume [/FS:file-system] [/V:label] [/Q] [/A:size] [/C] [/X]
FORMAT volume [/V:label] [/Q] [/F:size]
FORMAT volume [/V:label] [/Q] [/T:tracks /N:sectors]
FORMAT volume [/V:label] [/Q] [/1] [/4]
FORMAT volume [/Q] [/1] [/4] [/8]

volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
mount point, or volume name.
/FS:filesystem Specifies the type of the file system (FAT, FAT32, or NTFS).
/V:label Specifies the volume label.
/Q Performs a quick format.
/C Files created on the new volume will be compressed by
default.
/X Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary. All opened
handles to the volume would no longer be valid.
/A:size Overrides the default allocation unit size. Default settings
are strongly recommended for general use.
NTFS supports 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16K, 32K, 64K.
FAT supports 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16K, 32K, 64K,
(128K, 256K for sector size > 512 bytes).
FAT32 supports 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16K, 32K, 64K,
(128K, 256K for sector size > 512 bytes).

Note that the FAT and FAT32 files systems impose the
following restrictions on the number of clusters on a volume:

FAT: Number of clusters <= 65526
FAT32: 65526 < Number of clusters < 268435446

Format will immediately stop processing if it decides that
the above requirements cannot be met using the specified
cluster size.

NTFS compression is not supported for allocation unit sizes
above 4096.
/F:size Specifies the size of the floppy disk to format (160,
180, 320, 360, 640, 720, 1.2, 1.23, 1.44, 2.88, or 20.8).
/T:tracks Specifies the number of tracks per disk side.
/N:sectors Specifies the number of sectors per track.
/1 Formats a single side of a floppy disk.
/4 Formats a 5.25-inch 360K floppy disk in a
high-density drive.
/8 Formats eight sectors per track.

Other problems: The Volume Label can't be read - My card is labelled CyMS1024-1, but Card Info thinks it is called "f", FileZ thinks it's called External Card, Launcher think's it's just called Card, SMBMate think's it's "$f[][]" ([]=Square block, not two square brackets)
Card initialisation & detection is half a second longer.

The loss of AP and CMP is a biggie
Arse.
Guess there's still some room for someone to code their own...

On the bright side, Data Import and TCPMP *do* work.


Since I actually need my TH for work I'm gonna put it back as FAT16 and copy all 900MB of my crap back over now before I goto bed (Times like this I wish I had an MS Pro reader/writer...!)

Keep posting your info!!


@MrNako: Actually, you probably want the /FS:xxxx and /A:xxxx switches...
