The 16GB USB2 stick doesn't need that doing before it will read it in 
RO...

Anyway, I tried it: doing that to the 32GB USB3 stick makes no 
difference, Drive N (which is what Windows says the USB3 pen drive is) 
is still not one of the drive windows that opens up in RO.

I know that sometimes a drive wont open up in RO when there is nothing 
on it, so I put something on this USB3 stick in Windows, but it still 
doesn't open up in RO. Very strange.

I even tried reformatting it from FAT32 to NTFS, but that made no 
difference either. Windows is still able to write to it as an NTFS 
drive now, but RO still cant see it at all.

BTW - I assume is NTFS allowed on pen drives, I suppose it is, it 
works on Windows (and all my hard drives that RO sees are formatted 
NTFS).
