doyouhas Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Darren mentions in this episode that if the PE to USB application complains about the drive being unable to dismount because of size, you need to format it with Windows to FAT32. But he never specifies to do this before or after using the application. That seems like a stupid question because why would you format it to FAT32 after using the tool and not before? Well because something happens if you do it before. I popped in the drive, went to Disk Management, formatted the drive to FAT32, ran the tool, and instead of getting the original error I got something like "Cannot Dismount" which is different from the generic error message I got the first time. So I'm like, hm, maybe you're supposed to format it after using the tool? But that doesn't make any sense. Anywho, I'm twisting myself in knots trying to figure out the correct procedure here, help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingToChatWith Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Darren was just trying to make things easy, but really a FAT32 format in Disk Management is all ya need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netshroud Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 You are supposed to format the partition after running the tool, as AFAIK the tool repartitions your USB drive and adds the boot sector for GRUB4DOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
