Tyler, 

When a USB stick is formatted for UEFi booting, it will show up in the boot menu under the heading "UEFI BOOT".  I have formated regular USB sticks with "Rufus" that show up in the "UEFI BOOT" section of the boot menu, but the created DIA USB will not show under the "UEFI BOOT".

My question to you is why does the DIA USB stick NOT show up in the "UEFI BOOT" section in the boot menu, when it is formatted with fat32?

Gary, 

Again, My question to you is why DOESN'T the DIA USB stick show up in the "UEFI BOOT" section in the boot menu, when it is formatted with Fat32 or NTFS?

Here is an image of a Dell boot menu with the DIA USB inserted,  NOTE: the UEFI BOOT does not show the DIA USB.

Now Here is an image of the Dell boot menu with a USB formatted for UEFI inserted. NOTE: the UEFI BOOT does show the USB formatted for UEFI.

Dear Maperez834,

Rufus will use a Linux loader and create a hidden FAT32 boot partition and format the rest of the drive and the only visible partition as NTFS.

While SOME Dell systems and BIOS versions can support UEFI booting of an NTFS formatted drive, the UEFI Standard is to boot from FAT32 only.

DIA uses all Microsoft tools and recommended practices, so we only format USB Drives with a single partition.

Hope this addresses your concern, if not please respond and I will attempt to address this further.

Thanks,
