Another BIOS updating question (motherboard is an Asus P8P67 PRO, but this is a general question).

I'm formatting a USB drive that will contain a motherboard BIOS .rom file. Here is the info from the Windows 7 Format dialog box:

Capacity: 3.65 GB
File System: FAT32 (Default)
Allocation unit size: 4096 bytes

Does it matter what allocation unit size I use when formatting the USB drive as FAT32? Is 4096 bytes OK?

leave it alone, if you already messed with it, quick format it back to default file system and allocation size
