    You shouldn't have to format the drive. You are leaving out a bunch of info

    Brand name drives often have manufacturer-supplied software for formatting. Drives that don't can normally be formatted with FAT or FAT32 manually.

    Answer these questions.

    Windows or Mac?

    Brand-name or generic drive?

    Paid-for or freebie demo drive?

    Secured drive?
    MCSE, MCP and nut job
