If Windows won't format your USB drive to the FAT32 file system, remove the write protection or use CMD, PowerShell, or free software to do the same.

To format a USB drive in NTFS File System, you can use the Command Prompt or the File Explorer in Windows 11/10. This guide shows you how.

Ok, while in Windows 2k, or XP, is it possible to format your WINDOWS partition using start>run>cmd? My one friend seems to think it is possible, but I do not believe this to be possible.
