USB FLASH DRIVE DOES NOT FORMAT

[need Tos]

USB flash drives must be formatted with the FAT file system (FAT16 or FAT32) to be used by all major operating systems.

Yet for a USB flash drive larger than 32MB, Windows XP offers by default FAT32 file system.

[SecRecy]

To format a USB key, proceed as follows:

• Open the Control Panel,
• Select Administrative Tools, then Computer Management,
• Select Disk Management,
• Click the right mouse button on the drive to the USB key and select "Format as FAT. If the key has a capacity of more than 2 GB, select FAT32.
