Now you have just formatted your SD card as FAT-32 mind you it will take a while to complete so be patient.

This is actually a good thing in general as it means you are not stuck with the 4gb file size limit of FAT32, also Windows, OSX and Linux can all read and write to exFAT.
Most Micro SD Cards and standard SD Cards 32gb or larger (SD, SDHC, SDXC) can only be formatted as exFAT or NTFS on Windows.
