There are two separate issues in thumb drive formatting. One is the filesystem type, and FAT32 is pretty common. The other one is whether there is an MBR with a DOS partition, or the more recent GPT. If you were to take a flashdrive, put it in a Mac, and format it as "one partition, FAT32", I think you will end up with EFI. My impression is that the Elecraft firmware requires not only FAT32 but also MBR partitioning instead of GPT partitioning. But I am only 80% sure. 73 de n1dam ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
