We then moved the data back to the newly reformatted drive, ejected it, reinserted it, and verified that everything was in order, including our portable apps. Clicking Close called up a small dialog with detailed information about the drive. We allowed it to proceed, and it formatted the drive in seconds. We clicked Start, and a pop-up warned us all data on the drive would be lost. We chose to reformat it in NTFS and enable compression. HP USB immediately identified it and its file type, FAT. We moved the data off of an older 1GB flash drive and inserted the drive in an open USB port. Other than Start and Close buttons, that's it, not even a Help file, though this tool is easy enough to figure out without one. This compact tool has an equally compact interface, an efficient little dialog with selections for Device and File system, and an entry field for Volume label, and check boxes for format options, including the ability to create a bootable DOS start-up disk using either internal system files or files at a location you can specify. When the status bar says READY, the process is complete. Hewlett-Packard's USB Disk Storage Format Tool can quickly and thoroughly format virtually any USB flash drive in a wide range of file systems as well as create bootable USB media. Double check you have selected the correct drive and press OK to proceed. You can even boot from flash drives, just like the old floppies, which, together with portability, universal compatibility, and enough space to host useful tools, makes them ideal recovery devices. USB flash drives are this century's floppies, holding everything from personal and medical information to music and pictures and even secure data, with the added advantage of being small and rugged enough for keychain duty.
