Maybe it's dependent on several factors, but mine does not seem to contain a FAT32 partition.Er "the card will probably not be readable in Windows "
The first FAT32 partition on the card will be visible in Windows (take it out and put it back in)
and "since it is formatted for Android" - no it is not "Android"
All I get on Windows is a message:
"You need to format the disk in drive F: before you can use it."
followed by:
"The volume does not contain a recognized file system." (with additional information)
I'm currently using a 16GB card; a larger card might be formatted differently.
Also, possibly, I should have said "the card is formatted as ext4, which is used by Android, Linux and several other related systems"; but, I was trying to not be pedantic, and I was simply pointing out the the file system was usable by the Raspberry Pi but not readable in Windows.
