This doesnt really answer my question. I know how to change my scratch disks, the issue is that my usb is not showing up under my scratch disks so I cant select it to change it to the current scratch disk in photoshop. It only gives me the option to select my pc storage as my scratch disk.

Yes, Mine is a ntfs. Im googled it a lot and many people use usbs just fine for scratch disks, in fact before I bought my usb an adobe tech support specialist told me it would work.

And it's not a thumbdrive?
