Hey JN. I think FAT is an acronym for File Allocation Table hXXp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table

Sounds like your USB device has one or more bad blocks. When are you getting this error message?

It has something to do with the external WD hard drive. The hard drive works fine on a laptop. But, I tried reformatting it with the WD FAT32 format utility but the Elite still doesn't see the hard drive. The hard drive does have power when connected to the Elite.
