In general, we will format our pendrive if there is any virus. In windows xp for formating the USB drives there are only two options of eigher in FAT or FAT32 , but it is possible to make it in NTFS also. In fact NTFS is not supported for the small capacity USB drives but we can. If you ask a question why i should use the NTFS file systam, because NTFS is more secure and fast. Once we done in NTFS the security options will also increases.
Hear are the steps :
- Just insert your pendrive to your pc.
- After detect, open Device manager from My computer.
- Or simply open it through Run command,
Run –> devmgmt.msc –> ok - Now it will opens the Device manager window
Hear mine is Kingston so it appearing there - Now right click on the pendrive –> Properties
- Now Properties window will open
- Click on policies button — > now check on Optimize for performance — press ok
- Then go to My computer and format your pendrive now you can see the NTFS option
- Finally you got it
Your done ! if any problems just comment on it for solution

Hi got you friend…,
but FAT to NTSF is the once time process we can’t come back once we went forward for NTSF.
But According to your conversation i came to know that you need to format your pen-drive normally right..? actually we can do it in normal way just right side button and select format button but you are getting some error…!
No problem.., just try this..,
1. put Windows XP CD in your CD Drive, and make sure that you already inserted the pen-drive to your system.
2. Now just restart your system and boot with that cd.., and go and now you must see our pen-drive along with the partitions
3. Now select your pen-drive and just press ENTER so that windows will starts to format your drive then it will start to copy the windows files then just press restart button and just pull your pen-drive form the system.
Trust US no problem… it will works fine,
Now your pen-drive works fine…!! Let us know if you have any further problems.
Thank you….
