[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1742976, member: 46727"] You're getting that error because your thumb drive is formatted to FAT-32. Just format the thumb drive to Mac OS extended Journaled and the GUID partitioning scheme will be automatically applied. Then, you can go ahead and encrypt it with FileVault. You can not encrypt a FAT-32 thumb drive or any other drive formatted to FAT-32. [/QUOTE]
