1) Format the thumb drive:
1. Open a command prompt window
2. Type: DISKPART This will start the disk partition program.
3. Type: LIST DISK This will list the available disk partitions to format.
4. The size of the partitions will tell you which partition is the USB thumb drive.
It should be the smallest by far.
NB! You will be formatting the drive, which will erase ALL data!

then right click the partition you created and select “format.” In the format dialog, select
“FAT32” and “quick format”.
