7. Formatting the Device under Windows

Formatting is sometimes necessary for better performance or eliminating corrupted

data. In some cases, format is required when you are using the device under a

particular operating system for the first time. However, do remember that all the

data will be erased. Back up before doing it.

Windows operating systems, XP for instance, provide FAT32 as the default format

option for USB flash drive, but not NTFS. However, for large capacities, said 32GB

or above, NTFS is a more suitable option as it leaves more disk space. The following

are guidelines for FAT32 and NTFS formats.

FAT32

1. Insert the USB device to an available USB 2.0/3.0 port on a computer. The device

will appear as an icon on “My Computer”.

2. Since FAT32 is the default, just open the “My Computer” icon and right click on

the device “APACER”. Then, select “Format”.

3. Click on the drop-down arrow at “File System” and select “FAT32”.

Remember, FAT32 is recommended for USB flash drives with capacities under 32GB.

NTFS

Though a standard format option in Windows, NTFS is not a default for users. To

enable NTFS format for USB flash drives with capacities 32GB or above, please

follow the steps below.

1. Right-click on “My Computer” and select “Manage”.

2. Click on “Device Manager” and enter “Disk Drives” at the right column.

3. Select “USB3.0 FLASH DRIVE USB DEVICE” and double click to enter it.

Please be noted that the name “USB3.0 FLASH DRIVE USB DEVICE” is

determined by the operating system by default.

4. Once you enter the “USB3.0 FLASH DRIVE USB DEVICE”, the Properties

window will appear and you are in the “General” section. Then select “Policies” at

the working tabs on top.

5. Click on “Optimize for Performance” and “OK”. In Windows, the default is

“Optimize for Quick Removal”.

6. Now, open “My Computer” and right click on the USB storage device. NTFS is

now available.

Note:

The images above are under Windows XP operating system.

8. Formatting the Device under Mac OS

Mac OS empowered Apple computers come with a different disk format process.

Please follow the procedures below for disk formatting under Mac operating systems.

1. Insert the device into an available USB 2.0/3.0 port on the computer (Apple

computer).
