Why do I get "Unable to get volume information" when I run Diskview on a USB drive? I'm hoping to find the cluster size on a 32GB FAT32 (or exFAT) flash drive.

If you can(or care to) respond direct please do so to bill@wallace999.plus.com.

Thank you.

@GeordieLad: Sorry, I don't know.

Does anyone else have some ideas why the "Unable to get volume information" appears when running SysInternals DiskView?

The same situation.
As with an external flash drive ROM 8GB. in FAT32
No solution? Why does the DV not find the information?
