Need to format your USB all through the command prompt? It's a pretty advanced way, but I'll show you exactly how to!


1. Open up cmd from the start menu
2. Type compmgmt.msc to open your computer management tool and locate the disk (Number)
3. Once you have the disk number, remember it, then pull command prompt back up and type in: diskpart
4. Type: list disk
5. Then after remembering what number your disk was, change the # sign to the number and type: select disk (Number)
6. Then type: clean
8. Then Type: create partition primary
9. Then type: active
10. Finally type: format fs= fat32 (OR NTFS)

Difference: FAT32 (File Allocation Table) is older, and more compatible with all file types and systems, but only transfers up to 4gig files
NTFS (New Technology Files System) allows for files above 4gigs, but is unable to be formatted, doens't work with all operating systems like MACS
