While I realize Rufus defaults to NTFS for such images, one is still able to click the drop-down and switch back to FAT32. Rufus will happily create a drive with those settings, but as-is it results in a non-working boot disk (BIOS at least). In addition, the cause isn't the least bit obvious. Even as a very experienced system admin, it took me several hours of futzing and testing to finally figure out that Rufus was writing an old-school DOS BR when FAT32 is selected.\r\n\r\nI had already read the FAQ about dual-BIOS/UEFI booting being purposefully disabled so I did have a hunch it was 'broken' on purpose. I mostly wrote the patch for fun. I guess it was wishful thinking that you'd accept it.\r\n\r\nStill, sticking with your intention, I would suggest either actually disallowing the selection of FAT32 (or FAT or exFAT), or popping up a warning saying THIS WON'T DO WHAT YOU WANT or something to that effect. That might save some future users some hair-pulling like I dealt with. "}}
