    I saw on a video that shows some site called Rufus to force change the default exFAT to fat32 so maybe try that? Unless you already fixed the issue.

    I have a brand new SanDisk Ultra Flash Drive...I was going to format it and found this video very easy to follow BUT when I opened up the file that says USB Drive (D) there are three files in there that say something about SanDisk software .dmg and Install SanDisk...do I just format over that or do I need that to use my flash drive when saving photos and videos to this particular flash drive?

    Hello! Thanks for this video, easy to follow, even for a techy challenged person like me. However, it still didn't work for what I am trying to do, and perhaps I am going about this all wrong. So, what I am trying to do, is put videos on a thumb drive that will work on my DVD player (that has a slot for a thumb drive). I am compiling music vids, would like to pull a variety of different episodes from my DVDs, onto a thumb drive, so I have more variety, and it can run longer than a DVD would - I just can't get it to work with videos (MP3s play just fine), any suggestions? After following your video, and giving it a shot in the player, said something along the lines of, "This USB device is not supported. And you're a horrible cook." Like I said, I am NOT techy at all, so the more basic your answer, the better it will work for me. Advice? Do I need a program to do this? No doubt this is second nature for some of you guys, where I am still trying to figure out how to work my VCR. Kidding. :-) I actually used to do with VHS tapes what I am trying to do with a thumb drive / DVD player, but no doubt the latter is much easier (I hope) and far less time consuming. Thanks!

    I don't think you necessarily need to format it first. Most of them are already set up for Windows or Mac. I personally like to however. You got the country wrong however 😂 I have Swedish & Finnish Heritage. But I have been to Norway and it was beautiful!

Does it matter what file system the bootable flash drive uses when the PC use NTFS?

    I don't remember what format I used... I don't think it matters. I think Windows formats it itself when creating a bootable flash drive for installing Windows.@@edonramadani8017 EDIT: But I did use a 32 gigabyte flash drive and not a 256 gigabyte. I heard something about sizes being a problem. Especially for BIOS flash drives (8 Gb max - don't know if that is true).

The other day I changednthe format of another Usb Flash drive and had no problem setting it to Fat32. Perhaps there is a program that could change it instead of bloody WINDOWS?
