[25822] Tool does not support Modern USB Drives {copied from codeplex} #5

Open stadub opened 4 years ago

This tool does not support drives that are "Fixed", only the older style "Removable" devices. There are alternate tools which can perform the same task as this tool such as Rufus (http://rufus.akeo.ie/)

This should be addressed ASAP or at least have a big warning in it. There are NUMOROUS blog posts stating people can't boot from USB on their Surface Pros - most of them ended up having Surface Support exchanging their devices because even Surface support thinks this is a hardware problem. I even went through this and they opened a return ticket for me. It was just as I was getting ready to do this, I discovered UEFI devices can't boot from NTFS.
