    Is an install onto a FAT32 drive even possible? I've installed 3 times now... first was off an NTFS formatted USB disk, resulted in an NTFS formatted SSD. Then I tried again with a FAT32 USB disk, still NTFS SSD. Third time I made a freeDOS boot disk, FDISKed the SSD to FAT32, did the Win 7 install without clicking format or anything, and it's NTFS AGAIN! It takes hours to do each install so I'm not going to bother again until I find out for sure how to do it. Does anyone know how I can keep the disk FAT32?
