Deepak,
To boot into UEFI you need to boot from a FAT32 partition, and since USB Thumb drives only allow a single partition, the tools locks to allow FAT32 only. A secondary drive that is NTFS, or even a network drive could be used to store your WIM files if they are larger then the 4GB limitation with FAT32. Just boot up with the ImageAssist USB Key and point the corresponding tool to the NTFS drive, or use it to map a network drive.
Thanks,
Gary

Please note the /secureboot switch for USB_Drive_Creator.exe has been depreciated in the latest 5.0.1.1 release of ImageAssist. The USB creator tool will now auto-create the drive based off the OS architecture it’s run from. e.g. if 32-bit, it will create a 32-bit PE. if 64-bit, it will create 64-bit PE.
