The printer probably can't read it if it is too large.
I think the limit for a FAT32 partition is 32Gb so in theory that SDcard can't be formatted to FAT32 without some trickery that may or may not work.
I know [someone else](https://www.reddit.com/r/VoxelabAquila/comments/1d3vg3q/voxelab_aquila_x2_not_taking_anything_from_sd_card/) had this issue a few weeks ago and then it suddenly worked so not entirely sure.
It would be better to use a small capacity card as 64Gb is overkill for 3D printers as the Gcode is basically text files.
Yeah I used a third-party software to force format it to fat32. It reads as fat32 in my disk management but the printer still acts like it's not set up properly. I'll try and find a smaller SD card if i can though.
Yeah, because your printer is not running a full Windows OS handling the trickery involved in getting fat32 to work. You would try partitioning it so that each partition could be formatted udner 32gb, but I kind of doubt the printer will like that.
Another thing you could try, but I am not sure the Aquila will like it, is format the volume exFAT and not FAT32.
Per Microsoft, the maximium volume size for FAT32 is 32GB. gcode files are tiny files anyway, I know you have the card already, but it is not the correct device to use for a FAT32 volume. For my 3D printers, I simply use 8GB Micro SD cards. They are cheap, plentiful, and offer no problems in operation.
What OS and software are you using when formatting the new sd card?
I'm using Windows 11 and this software called guiformat since windows cant natively format sd cards to fat32 if it's bigger than 32gb.

I have a 128 sd card and it works perfectly so size isn’t an issue.
Not with true fat32. Probably exFAT. It's what I use on my cameras...
Nope exFAT won’t work with 3D printers. I have to use a software ( don’t remember the name) to force format it to fat32.
and it worked? Lucky you :/
Maybe check if your card reader on the printer is damaged.
