ASUS Backtracker fails to recognize USB drive - FIxed

Giving back some to the web 🙂

Using the latest version backtracker, which is 309 on windows 10 on a ASUS Q501L laptop

I created the OS recovery USB drive with no problems.

But when I tried to create the DRIVERS recovery USB, backtracker did not see my
"4GB SanDisk Cruzer Pop USB 2.0 Flash Drive".

Windows saw the 4g usb drive and I could write/read files from it.
Also, this is odd... if I tried to create another OS recovery, backtracker saw the 4g usb drive.

I tried other USB drives, but backtracker did not see them when trying to do a DRIVER backup.

FIX: I went to another computer, quick formatted the 4g USB as 4096 alloc size and FAT32. (FYI it was already FAT32, not sure what the alloc size was before). and then it worked, Backtracker saw it and I was able to create the DRIVER restore usb.

BTW, ASUS was of no help, they wanted me to reinstall my OS. doh!

Check out Macrium Reflect much slicker and works every time.
