I don't know about your exFAT issue since I USB connect 3 GB and 4 GB HDs and all of my PCs boot up just fine.

Found Version 8.21 rev A (designated SSID 2ACE) under Windows 8.1 OS and loaded it up. PC booted OK.

 

Don't have an easy way to test exFAT on this BIOS version at the moment. I reformated the USB Hard drive to NTFS (as described above) and it's full of data now.  

 

About your 3 GB and 4 GB USB HDs. You might check if they are exFAT or NTFS?

However, that may not mean anything as I tested the exFAT USB HD on two older PC's (where the older of the two has to be more than 7 years old) and both booted OK.

 

Thanks for everyones help.
