Error when writing to SD card

I am using the OpenBCI 16-channel R&D kit (32 bit) with the Windows OpenBCI GUI on a 64 bit Windows 7 system. I am using processing with the latest version off of Github.

I have been trying to write to the SD without any success. The  microSD card I have is a SanDisk 64 GB Class 10, UHS speed 1. I followed the steps of the tutorial and formatted the SD card using the SD Formatter 4.0 (as suggested). 

The error I keep getting is: 
$$$OpenBCI_ADS1299: syncWithHardware: [5] Writing selected SD setting (5 minute maximum) to OpenBCI...
Wiring is correct and a card is present.
Could not find FAT16/FAT32 partition. Make sure you've formatted the card.

How do I fix this? Thank you!

    It looks like the SD library is able to find the card, no problem, but it doesn't agree with the file system.
    Try reformatting the card. In the tutorial, I mention using the SD Associations SD formatter, which allows for writing zeros to all locations.

    Try that, and let us know how it works.
