Hi David,

I have an external USB drive formatted to NTFS and have no problem with it, the biggest files I have on there are normally Linux ISO's but they can be read okay!.

If you are creating a bootable Linux USB stick, then it should be FAT32 for whatever reason the devs chose!.

Regards Wolfman
