Likely, no doubt, but it seems strange Rufus always finishes without errors or warnings and yes, for me Rufus is way less picky, but who really knows, I am not a hardware tester,
This was even when the Windows format utility completes format. It seemed to never error during that, but Microsoft's USB tool bombs out with a file copy error and prompts me to start over..... Put in my Cruzer 4 GB and it was fine, IIRC..... I SO chucked the Cruzer 8 GB!
