I need some guidance regarding formatting sd and sd micro cards. I have Canon point and shoot cameras. ( I think they want FAT32 ) I have an Android smartphone that I was told needs FAT32 for sure. &nbsp;My computers all have drives formatted in NTFS. One Dell T7500 Workstation and two Dell M4700 Workstations. When do I format for FAT32 and when for NTFS? I DID run into a problem earlier when I had 20gb available on a card and wanted to put a 6gb file on it. It would not take it. I had to fiddle with the 6gb file to make it work. Is there a set of standards I can go by? How do I decide?

SD CARDS - NTFS vs. FAR32. Deciding  which and when to use.

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
