Default How to format?

Received my card, but I can't figure out how to format it. I have installed it in the phone, but can't figure out how to reformat it.

Suggestions?

I tried that earlier today while at the office, but it didn't give Fat32 as an option. IIRC, the only option was exFat, and the format failed when I tried using this option.

ATM, I'm at home without an sdcard reader. Any way to format it from within the phone itself?

Idk. I don't see an option for it. I thought if it wasn't formatted correctly, it would like notify you or something. Is it recognized in android?

No. Looks like I'll have to find a way to format it as Fat32 from the work PC.

Yes. I'm running TWRP v2.1.1 and tried without success to format the card from there as well. It seems that I'm unable to mount the card, so the format fails.

I'm going to try it again later when I'm at the PC with the card reader. This time I'm going to download and use some software designed to format the sd cards.
