Windows 10: Recovery Drive Program does not recognize 32 GB USB. Next button grayed out. 32 GB USB...

SUB: Creating a Recovery drive program does not recognize my USB drive.


I am thinking about installing the October-2020 windows version 20H1 or 20H2 from my current

version 1909 OS Build: 18363.1139.


In preparation to update my windows 10 home version, I was able to create a restore point.

I could not create the Recovery Drive as my 32 GB USB drive is not recognized by the Program.

I have a 32 GB UDB drive, which I used earlier for other programs and is in a good working condition

But the Recovery drive program asks for a 32 GB USB drive and this Recovery program does not

recognize the USB drive. The next button is grayed out and I can not click on it.

I normally create my Recovery drives by recycling 3 drives a few months 1,2,3 followed by 1,2,3. Grand-father, Father, and Grandchild scheme and then the 4th time the grandfather drive is reused.


I always give NTFS drives and that works. The Recovery drive is always reformatted by the recovery drive

creation program to FAT32. My last recovery drive was created on August 29th, 2020.


I really would appreciate anyone giving me a detailed troubleshooting protocol,

Thank you

The drive must be able to hold at least 32 gb, and everything on the drive will be deleted. Windows 10, Creating a recovery drive.

Trying to create a recovery drive. My computer said I need a 32 GB usb drive. When I insert the drive I get a message that "The drive must be able to hold at least 32 gb, and everything on the drive will be deleted." and the next button is grayed out.
In properties, my new drive says capacity is 31.2 GB. Please, is this not working because my "32 GB" usb drive is actually 31.2 GB? Otherwise, why is it not allowing me to proceed? Should I "format" the drive? Thank you for
your consideration with my problem.

 

After Win 10 Update 1511, Windows Create Recovery Drive does not recognize Lexar s25 USB 3.0 32 GB Jumpdrive.

After Windows Updated my PC to Win 10 Pro 32 bit, I ran the Windows Create Recovery Drive utility and created a recovery drive on a Lexar s25 USB 3.0 32 GB Jumpdrive. All went well, and I successfully booted from the new recovery drive.

After the 1511 Update, I tried to run Wndows Create Recovery Drive utility, but it would not recognize the same drive mentioned previously. I tried multiple times, and I finally game up on the Lexar s25 Jumpdrive. Windows File Explorer recognized the Lexar
s25 Jumpdrive, and I could move files to the drive. To get around the recovery creation problem, I substituted another Lexar USB 2.0 8 GB drive which the recovery utility recognized and successfully created a recovery disk.

My PC is USB 2.0 compliant, but the Lexar 3.0 USB drive is USB 2.0 backward compatible. Any ideas?
