| [title] Formatting used flash drives | |
| - | [* icon_note] This step is not required for new flash drives |
| + | [* icon_note] ***This step is not required for new flash drives.*** This is only intended for used drives. These drives are at risk for poor file system integrity. Formatting the drive is strongly advised to make sure the file system is clean. ***If you care about the contents on the drive back the drive up first.*** |
| [* black] Open a Windows Explorer window and find the drive you want to use. It will show up as a removable disk with the name you have given the drive. | |
| [* black] Right click the drive and find ***Format...***. Click on this and select a file system. Depending on the size of the drive, you may be limited to what file systems you can use. Optionally, you can name the drive if you want. ***If you need a file system that isn't shown here, you will need to use Computer Management to format the drive.*** |
