Hi,
You can try to format your USB key (in FAT32) with "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool" which is free.

[Solved] Beat Grid Wave Display Not Appearing On XDJ-RX
My first couple of weeks with Rekordbox and my XDJ-RX, I've used either Rekordbox Mobile on my iPad or Rekordbox connected with Pro-Link. After getting familiar with the browsing and searching workflow of the XDJ-RX, I decided to get a high capacity USB drive. My first gig to use that USB drive was actually at the club with a pair of CDJ-2000 Nexus decks. All was fine for hours until the playing deck went into an emergency loop.. Luckily, I had my iPad hooked up for backup. The USB drive had lost it's connection. I swapped the drive to the other deck, and I was reconnected. About twenty minutes later, this happened again. I was shaken and thought to myself this was not acceptable. I had played for several hours at home on my XDJ-RX with no issues.
After getting home and evaluating the situation and reading the manuals and forums, I decided that I may have corrupted the USB drive by not ejecting it properly. I decided to re-format the drive and start over. I'm running Windows 10 and there is no option to format with FAT 32. I downloaded and used a utility called "Macrorit Disk Partition Expert". After re-formatting, I exported playlists containing about 4000 songs. when testing on the XDJ-RX, they all loaded and played but none had the beat grid display.
I tried this cycle another time by reformatting in the software's "slower" mode, re-analyzing a new playlist of about 25 songs and exporting them to the USB drive. Again, no beat grid waveform display.
Still puzzled, I hooked up the XDJ-RX by Pro-Link to Rekordbox on my Windows laptop. The beat grids are displayed again!
Could it be the USB drive that is faulty, the formatting software, or am I just missing a crucial setting? Could I have damaged the drive by inadvertently not ejecting it properly? Should I take the drive back? And, what high capacity drive is recommended?
USB Drive: Patriot Supersonic Boost 256GB USB 3.0
(I did not originally format this drive, but it seems it was formatted to FAT 32)
Windows 10 Home Edition
Latest Rekordbox
Latest firmware for the XDJ-RX, 1.70

@Wbskates > As @Toonz notes, try using the 3rd party HP software to format your drive, it could be an issue with the cluster size of the drive as it arrived.

What cluster size is recommended? The largest to select from in the utility I was using was 64.

With the HP software, you don't have to choose the cluster size. Just select FAT32 and let the tool format your key.

It seems to be working now.
With the other formatting utility, I did a complete wipe to the highest D.O.D. specs. Based on the advice I received here, I downloaded the HP formatting utility and reformatted the wiped/unformatted drive. I was surprised it took literally seconds, so I did it again. Mere seconds as well. I went back to Rekordbox and exported one playlist. Back again was my Beat Grid Wave display! I now set Rekordbox to export my whole large collection. I'll see how all that went sometime tomorrow.
Thanks Toonz and Pulse! This seems to be an especially helpful forum.
