Reformatted USB stick, now TV won't recognise it

[jefwatts]

Hi

I've had a Sony Bravia T?V KDL-43WE753 for a bit under a year. I've been using a USB stick to record off the TV. But the USB had some kind of error where it showed there was hardly any space on it. I deleted all the programmes but it still showed only 25 GB free out of 58.

I reformatted the stick on my PC, putting it back to the default settings, but now the TV won't recognise it. The reformatting only gave the option of "NTFS" or "Ex-FAT (default)" under File System, so I chose Ex-FAT. My TV instructions say it's compatable with NTFS, FAT16 and FAT32 but doesnt mention Ex-FAT, so I'm not sure if this is what the problem is.

Is anybody able to help me with this? Thanks.

@jefwatts: Can you confirm that your USB stick is a 64GB Stick?

If yes, then type at the DISKPART prompt the following and hit enter.

select disk 2

Then take a new screenshot and post back.
