You can repartition and reformat it as FAT32 and everything will work just fine. You do have to change the partition type currently, though, since exFAT uses type 7. I submitted a patch which removes partition type dependencies from Rockbox but it got reverted by someone because it broke mounting superfloppy-formatted SD cards for some people. We should tighten up our MBR/FAT superblock sanity checking such that we don't screw up in this situation (since nothing stops this from happening *now*, it's just less likely that the superfloppy's "MBR" happens to have a FAT type in the right "field") and then we can stop checking partition types again. -- Torne Wuff to...@wolfpuppy.org.uk
