I've built system based on a SURE electronics clone of the PIC24F starter k=
it & starter kit code. The program writes ASCII data to a USB flashdrive at=
 one second intervals. While it behaves well with a 2GB USB drive installed=
, if I use an 8GB drive which has been partitioned down to 2GB and formatte=
d as FAT16, I randomly get garbage written to the logging file (when I look=
 at the data, I see mostly the data that should be present, but with random=
 blocks of 'binary'). Sometimes the drive becomes unreadable.

I used EaseUS partition master to do the partitioning.

I'm using the Microchip Memory Disk Drive File System to write to the flash=
 drive. My understanding was that that would only work with FAT16 drives, b=
ut I see on the website that it claims to work with FAT32. Has anyone used =
this library successfully with large FAT32 USB drives?

Thanks for any pointers,

Joe
