I got an error message in the very first steps of first boot: "error sizing existing FAT partition" and another one "FATs don't match".
Any suggestions?

After spending many hours tryinga variety of formats including using a Canon camera, I believe I have figured out why the FAT errors keep cropping up. When I looked at another one of my microsd cards that was working I discovered that it was formatted as FAT 32 before installing NOOBS. However, the cluiser size was 16kb and NOT the default 32kb. When I reformatted as FAT32 using a cluster size of 16kb everything worked just fine. Hope that this will save some of you the headaches I had.

Is this on the raspberry pi edition? If so make sure your SD card has been formatted and the Ethernet is not plugged in on first boot.
Thank you, it is solved: Ethernet was plugged and it worked as soon as I unplugged it.
That is a known problem with the NOOBS Installer which is used in nOS Infinity. I am trying to resolve it.
