O.P. Need help with USB Drive
I just bought an USB drive, and when I tried to open it, it said that the drive isn't formatted.
Then I formatted it under FAT32, and it said Windows was unable to complete the format 
Please help me. Registered 7849 days, 18 hours, 48 minutes, 51 seconds ago.
Happy Birthday, WDZ

I should find that in the properties, right?
I don't see it.
In fact, the file system is RAW...

RE: Need help with USB Drive
go Start > Run > "compmgmt.msc" > Disk Management
try formatting it from there 
I had this too, but it didn't want to format because it's too small (32 mbs)

What file system should I set to? FAT or FAT32?
Quick format or regular format?
Allocation Unit size?

Will do it tomorrow...
btw, I remember it's saying that the disk is write protected.
Where can I find the option or maybe the protector like on a floppy? Registered 7849 days, 18 hours, 48 minutes, 51 seconds ago.
