etc etc.Īll Windows 7/8/8.1/10 installation ISO files are designed to be extracted to FAT32. Trying to reformat to NTFS works fine, but a format to FAT32 fails, and the machine wants to format it again. I plug in a known, good drive, and the computer reports that it needs to be formatted.

The drives I try are all correctly formatted, and readable. This computer will not read any FAT32 drive, USB, internal or external.

If I try to re-format the drive (or smaller drives) to FAT32, it fails. The screenshot below shows a known good 4GB, properly formatted FAT32 USB stick.ĮaseUS Partition Master recognizes as FAT32, Windows 10 Disk Management sees it as RAW.Partition Master however cannot read the disk contents. I've tried both UEFI (Secure Boot) and Legacy boot. My Dell XPS13 notebook will not read any FAT32 formatted drive, be it a USB flash drive or the bootable UEFI partition.
