Thank you for your confirmation. I hadn't paid much attention to the driver format before attempting the BIOS q-flash plus. However, I installed Windows from this USB before as well. Google mentioned it supports NTFS or FAT32, but exFAT isn't an option. I also learned that the Gigabyte motherboard is quite strict during installation—it only searches for a file named gigabyte.bin and won’t proceed if it can’t locate it in the root directory. So any issues would likely be related to BIOS initialization failure, unless there was a mistake like renaming the wrong file. Overall, your explanation matches what I found on various sites, including Gigabyte, Microsoft, and Google. Thanks again for clarifying!

Great find! I’ve got a USB 2.0 16GB Kingston Datatraveler 112, likely from 10–15 years ago, formatted with FAT32. Appreciate the help!

I’ve also come across something similar. Fortunate I possess exactly what you need—I recently acquired a USB2.0 16G Kingston Datatraveler 112, likely from 10 to 15 years prior. Appreciate the help!
