FORMATTING AN SDXC CARD FOR USE WITH NOOBS - Instructions here
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/sdxc_formatting.md
NOTE: If your SD card is 32Gb or larger, Windows formats it as exFAT. Raspberry Pi doesn't understand that configuration and must be formatted as FAT32
SOLUTION
Insert SD card and download SD Formatter
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
Format the SD card with FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT set to ON
Download FAT32 Format (which downloads as a single file named guiformat.exe)
http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm
Using guiformat.exe, format the SD card to FAT32
Download NOOBS from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads, choosing NOOBS from the operating systems offered
Extract NOOBS to a folder and paste the contents of the folder to the SD card
Run NOOBS, following the instructions at
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/noobs.md
You will be offered a one-time menu that offers to install any one of the following operating systems on your Raspberry Pi
Raspbian
Pidora
OpenELEC
