so I loaded and installed the link, but its greek to me on how to do fat32

Just plug in your SD card to your PC. When it is recognized, run the program, select that disc, and click FORMAT.

If you really don't 'get this' maybe have someone help you. Formatting the wrong disc can have major consequences.

I think I just need to select "fat32" for file system and 32kb for cluster size?? after I click format?

 

[JoeBearcat]

Yes. I just did one to make sure I was familiar and it didn't ask the size but it was a smaller size card.

ok, done. should I try putting back in 436 now?

CLEAR USER DATA using Sentinel first. That will be faster using that same card reader.

You can actually write your scanner profile to it using that reader too.
