There might be some machines that will boot off the device with a FAT file system, but not with other file systems. But I suspect that would be limited to older machines.
Hi Bruno,
Would that apply to NTFS too? Are there BIOS'es that won't boot off of NTFS? That would have to be a really old machine.
In other words, if the motherboard can boot off an NTFS hard drive, should it also be able to boot off a USB EXT4 stick? (I am finding I have to go to somewhat newer motherboards to get the USB boot option in BIOS anyway.)
