How to Format a USB Drive in FAT32

1. Insert the USB drive into an open USB port on the computer. The computer should automatically recognize the drive. If it is the first time the drive has been connected to the computer, Windows will attempt to install drivers to support the USB drive.
2. Click the 'Start' button to bring up the Start menu. Click 'Computer' to explore the computer and the drives attached to it.
3. Find the drive letter designation for the connected USB drive listed under the Computer heading on the left side of the window. Right-click the USB drive listed here and click the 'Format' option.
4. Select FAT32 formatting under File system. Choose either quick format or regular format by checking or un-checking the Quick Format box. Click 'Start' to start the formatting process. Most Windows versions will give you a warning that all of your data will be erased. Click 'OK' if you want to continue formatting the USB drive.
