Gigabyte EX58 UD3A qflash cant find my USB drive

I've tried everything I can think of, but the Qflash utility always reports "No Disk Found". I've formatted my Verbatim 4GB flash drive 3 times using FAT and also FAT32, tried all ports...its just not seeing it. I don't get it. Is it just not compatible or something?
 
It is the R UD3R, my mistake. Its funny, because the USB drive showed up in the BIOS under the "change hdd boot priority" so I would assume that Qflash would see it. I tried with and without Floppy enabled (I dont have a floppy drive). "Legacy USB Storage" and "Legacy USB Keyboard" are enabled. I ended up just creating a tiny FAT32 partition on my main drive and installed the BIOS update that way. But still, this USB thing bothers me. I almost want to buy a different thumbdrive just to ease my mind.

 
Couldn't you make the USB flash drive bootable (to a DOS prompt)?
Include the DOS version bios flasher on the USB drive, then flash the bios without using Qflash.
 
I was thinking about that. This is a brand new PC and whenever something doesnt work correctly, I really want to make sure it isnt the PC / Motherboard. Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it out if I need to update the BIOS again. I think I might get another cheap thumb drive just to satisfy my curiosity when it comes to Qflash.
