Hi all,
I'm having a strange problem. My Vista Ultimate x64 all of a sudden can't recognize FAT32 USB drives. I have tried 4 different drives which work on other PCs and a PS3. Every time I get "You need to format the disk in drive X: before you can use it. Do you want to format it?". And if I do select Continue, and then select either regular format for Quick Format it will appear to be trying but at the end always fail with error "Windows was unable to complete the format". However if I insert a NTFS USB drive it works fine. And yes FAT32 was working at the beginning, and I didn't install any suspicious programs. I have only been doing the regular Windows updates.
I've been searching around but have yet to find anything helpful. Your input will be greatly appreciated!!
