All my partitions are NTFS formatted but a new USB stick is FAT32 formatted.
So the USB stick is not visible in WinExplorer.

Yes, it is visible in COmputer Management and Device Manager and can be accessed through Command prompt.

So the only reason I can see so far is the FAT32 format.

Can this be the reason ?

Is it not possible to use a mixture between FAT32 and NTFS partitions on ONE computer ?

How can I enable FAT32 visibility (in WinExplorer)?

Do I have to install some special driver for FAT32 ?

Nope. I run a mixture of NTFS and FAT32 and they are always visible fine.

Work out why it isnt showing you that particular drive. It isnt because its FAT32.

Nope.

Microsoft Downloads, TweakUI, UNhide drive letter.
