Formatting Pen-drive Using CMD Prompt to FAT32 or NTFS

• First of all, Insert your pen-drive into your system.

 use  format f: /fs:ntfs

• Now, press Enter and again Enter to confirm.

• Wait for sometime and then command prompt will ask you to enter a drive name.

That`s all you have to do. We only used a simple command "format" to complete our process.

[Read]  Difference Between FAT and NTFS File Systems

I will suggest you before formatting, use " help format " command. it will list all the possible commands which can also be used to specify certain things. 

You can also convert the file system from FAT32 to NTFS after formatting the Pen-drive. It is noticed that the data remains safe and unchanged but you should store your data also on some other safe place before proceeding.
