To format a drive:

the disk is scanned for bad sectors. Quick Format removes all files from the volume but does not scan the disk for bad sectors.

3. Click on the Start button to begin the formatting process.

4. When the format process has completed, click on the Close button.

Note: Formatting FAT/FAT32 devices to NTFS is not supported by devices that are configured as ‘Optimized for Quick Removal’. In order to format to NTFS, you need to change the drive’s policy to ‘Optimized for Performance’.

Caution! When your drive is configured as ‘Optimized for performance’ it is important that you use the Windows Safely Remove Hardware application to unmount the drive before disconnecting it from your computer. Failure to do so may cause you to lose data on the drive or possibly even harm the drive itself.

Safely Removing USB Devices
