My new MK2S won't recognize gcode from my sd card =(

Hi everyone. I recently received a pre-built prusa mk2S and I've been able to print from the demo SD card, but when I try using my own SD card it is not recognized. Am I doing something wrong? I sliced my programs with simplify3d. Any ideas on how i can fix this? None of my programs are showing up.

The card works on my computer, the printer just can't read it. I'll try buying another card with a different brand. In the mean time i found that the card which I thought was just a demo actually has room for storage.....I saved some stuff there and it's working now. Maybe PNY is a cheap brand? lol

FYI this printer is amazing so far....just the one hiccup but ill work around it.

The SD card needs to be formatted with FAT32 (or FAT16) and the maximum supported size (for FAT 32) is I believe 32GB.

Oh...Didn't know that. This sd is 64gb. I guess that's why.

Thanks for the replies.
