  • Memtest86 successfully failing?

    Hello!

    I have created Memtest86 in the past on my computer, but I am wondering if there is something going on because when I create the UFD, the total space on the UFD goes from 28GB to 1GB.

    The log doesn't indicate anything that I could use to troubleshoot either:

    As a result, I am not able to use this because the USB drive is also not being seen by the target computer. (Dell Latitude 5320, circa 2021, BIOS updated today before I tried memtest86.

    Any idea why this is happening since from what I know, memtest needs more than 1MB to install on a drive, no?

    It appears you have downloaded and image MemTest86 V4 for legacy machines instead of the latest release.

    You can find the download link for the current release at the top of the download page,

      Hello Richard! Thank you for the message. I did indeed go down the page and completely missed the download on the top.
