To get beyond the FAT32 32GB volume limitation I would guess.
Bingo. I find no need for FAT32. My current thumbdrive has a ton of things on it, including music, software, data, and the latest Boom Software (until the upgrade is complete, and then I remove it).
NTFS also allows for individual file compression, advanced file level security, and is the default type when formatting in recent versions of Windows. It also supports folder templates.

Oh, I wasn't doubting the benefits of NTFS at all.
I was just mentioning that you can indeed format a drive larger than 32 GB with FAT32.
I don't really do that, just wanted to show it was possible.
As lp mentioned though, the built in Windows tools won't do it.
But as Hammz also mentioned, all USB drives come already formatted.
There is no need to format them again. Just delete anything on one you don't want and continue on.
Riding yesterday found out a little "glitch". My friend shut his bike off by going to "accy". This forced the CB on his bike to default to channel 1. Duplicated it on my bike also . . .
After my update, the system will not stay OFF (show the clock) after the next start. Well, less than 50% of the time.
The bike will be on and the FM screen showing. I turn the radio off. Turn the bike off, start the bike, and the clock returns. Sometimes. Then I turn the bike off, start the bike, and the FM returns. Sometimes.
Part of this update was supposed to be faster boot up time. I timed mine and it was 13 seconds for the music to start playing and 31 seconds before the accept screen came up.
Anyone else experience anything faster? This still seems pretty slow.
