Smaller than 32GB, or get a third party formatting utility.

Yes, it flashed BIOS without issue. So we have to keep tiny USB drives on hand now to update ASRock BIOS?]]> Fri, 03 Jan 2020 11:20:19 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13262&PID=71720&title=instantflash-not-detecting-bios-file#71720 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13262&PID=71579&title=instantflash-not-detecting-bios-file#71579 Author: jdillipl

Congratulations, your system board and BIOS will read NTFS. This is not guaranteed, hence the recommendation to use FAT32. So you got your BIOS updated?

Well, I just reformatted drive as NTFS and it worked.]]> Mon, 30 Dec 2019 18:16:49 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13262&PID=71560&title=instantflash-not-detecting-bios-file#71560 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13262&PID=71525&title=instantflash-not-detecting-bios-file#71525 Author: jdillipl

My mistake, sorry. Windows will not format a drive (or partition) larger than 32GB as FAT32. Do you have a smaller USB flash drive?

Did you try Powershell or Command Prompt run as Administrator?

Unfortunately I cannot format it as FAT32, even using PowerShell or Command Prompt. It is 64 GB. I used same drive previously, too, but now I can't even get the motherboard to recognize the old BIOS files.]]> Sat, 28 Dec 2019 02:03:43 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13262&PID=71504&title=instantflash-not-detecting-bios-file#71504 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13262&PID=71503&title=instantflash-not-detecting-bios-file#71503 Author: jdillipl

MB: X470 Gaming ITX/ac
BIOS: 3.60

I have updated my motherboard BIOS many times in past without issue. With the new BIOS file, I cannot get the UEFI InstantFlash to recognize a suitable BIOS file. I can only format USB drive as exFAT, not FAT32. I don't remember if this was possible previously.]]> Thu, 26 Dec 2019 23:47:10 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13262&PID=71486&title=instantflash-not-detecting-bios-file#71486
