USB Flash Drives

Partitioning and Formatting
Partitioning creates one or more areas on a disk that can be accessed by an Operating System. There are two partitioning schemes in common use, Master Boot Record(MBR) and GUID. The scanner console PC is unable to mount a drive formatted with GUID. If you are going to use a drive with the scanner console always partition it with Master Boot Record.

Flash drives normally come from the factory partitioned with MBR. If your drive behaves strangely with the scanner PC check the partitioning scheme. Changing the partition scheme will erase the entire disk.
