Hi there,

I have a Sony Blu Ray player that has a usb port that I usually use to watch movies stored on a flash drive. I recently acquired a 128gb flash drive that I have had trouble getting to work. Apparently I need to create a 64gb partition on the flash drive that's formatted with FAT32 for it to work. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Windows disk management will allow you to delete the current partition and set up a new one, it does ask you for size so you can put in a value below 64Gb.
The important thing is for the 64gb to be either the only or at least the first partition for the device having a chance to see it.
