    Formatting a USB Stick

    Windows wants me to reformat a USB stick that I was using earlier in the day with no issues. If I reformat I'll lose my files.

    Suggestions?

    Installing windows off of a USB stick

    Step By Step from vista:
    From admin cmd prompt

    1. diskpart
    1a. list disk
    2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

    xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk

    How do I reformat an USB stick to hold larger files than 4 G?

    Problem with a 64gb USB Verbatim flash stick


    Cleaned the WinToUsb drive (G) with DiskPart as suggested and now it just says USB Drive (G).
    I cannot seem to be able to format it with either NTFS or FAT(Default) ?

    I think what you said about creating a partition is probably what I didn't completely understand....and may have bypassed that step ?

    I think I need you to guide me through that step.
