I'm guessing I have this in the correct category, if not hopefully one of the mods will move it accordingly, either way, I have a problem and I think resorting to Tom's Hardware will help me out. I recently put an OS, Windows 7 32-bit to be specific, on a USB drive to put on a computer. Well, it successfully went on the USB through the Windows Tool that Microsoft provides, and it installed on the computer with no problem, well now, we have a problem. The USB that installed Windows on the computer will no longer work on my main PC, a 64-bit system. It'll only work on the 32-bit computer and I don't know how to fix it at all. I get the error code 10, this device can't start or something like that, but it works just fine on the other PC. I was wondering if anyone at all could help me.

None of those fixes worked for me.



have you tried to reformat the usb?


It doesn't give me the option, it only shows up in the device manager and it won't let me format it through there.

It allows me to reformat it on the 32-bit system, but when I switch back over to the 64-bit, it just doesn't want to work.

Still nothing, and I put it back into the 32-bit computer to make sure that it still works, and I can still explore it, put files on it and everything. It just refuses to work on my 64-bit computer.

FAT32. It's the same as all of my other USBs and they have no problem.
