Hello Marcos,

There may be several reasons why you are being prompted to have your pen drive formatted every time you plug it in to your PC. This prompt, however, may not be disabled. To isolate what's causing this issue, kindly answer the following questions:

• When did this issue start?
• Were there any hardware/software changes on your PC prior to this happening?
• Was your pen drive improperly pulled out from the USB port?
