    If you're unable to find the FAT32 option directly, you can work around it by creating a partition of around 8 GB, or the desired size, and then right-clicking the drive in File Explorer. From there, select "Format" and opt for FAT32 as the file system. This method allows you to format the smaller partition as FAT32.
    how to create a partition
    Open Disk Management:
    Press Win + X on your keyboard.
    Choose "Disk Management" from the menu that appears.
    Locate the Drive:
    Disk Management displays a list of all connected drives.
    Right-click on the drive that you want to partition.
    Shrink the Volume:
    Select "Shrink Volume."
    Enter the amount of space you want for the new partition (in MB) and click "Shrink."
    A new unallocated space will be created.
    Create a New Partition:
    Right-click on the unallocated space.
    Choose "New Simple Volume."
    Follow the wizard to specify the size, assign a drive letter, and select formatting options.
    Select FAT32 File System:
    When prompted for the file system, choose "FAT32" from the dropdown menu.
    Complete the wizard to create and format the partition.

    In most of your devices there is usually a built-in utility to format the storage media as FAT32, so this utility is more useful for USB Flash Drives.

    If you can’t format properly a micro sd card, use a Nokia 6220c to format to Fat 32. Then format again with an Android. Then copy large files to the card, and copy within the card more times using Windows. Fail will scandisk more times, then you fixed your faulty card, ready to use it for everything. Pendrive problem can be fixed by connecting to Samsung Otg, then power the phone to standby. Overheating will stop, and you can start formatting and use.

Everything looked like it worked with the Rufus program and it did change the drive to FAT32, but the drive won't eject because it says a program is using it even though I know it isn't.
