I presume Avast staffers read theses things.
Is it really necessary to format the rescue USB sticks with NTFS? Apparently, UEFI based machines only do FAT32 sticks unless you enable some legacy mode which, I'm warned, can cause problems (not sure what kind of problems as my experience was fine). Point is, using FAT32 seems much more straightforward, both BIOS and UEFI can use it without fussing with the system settings and people like me won't have to spend hours on a wild goose chase. Is there some compelling reason to use NTFS over FAT32? (How about Linux based rescue sticks?)
