Answer 1

USB drive? do you mean flash drive or a hdd? I assume you mean a hdd if so, first check if it isn't already a fat32 system file format. if it's an ntfs, there are applications you can download online (open source software). Look it up on google.

Answer 2

insert your USB drive into the USB port, right click, scroll down to format, and choose FAT32. Most USB Drives are already FAT32.

Answer 3

Plug it in to any windows pc and right click it under "my computer"

then select the fat32 option

Answer 4

certain you could format a flashchronic to NTFS. NTFS is the perfect for archives integrity, yet NTFS truthfully works on domicile windows machines. FAT32 is the most nicely suited and could artwork almost any OS. you shouldn't hassle with elementary fat (also nicely-called FAT16)
