Hp Disk Storage Format Utility

Choose from several formatting options

Users simply need to specify the device they wish to format, select the file system and assign the volume a label, then optionally choose quick format or enable compression. One also has the possibility of creating a DOS start-up disk, by either using the internal MS-DOS system files, or the ones located at a specific path.

Quick selection of the drive to process

One of the differences between HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool and the regular formatting tool found in Windows is the fact that this third-party freeware allows users to select USB drives, while the Windows version does not provide this option.

Moreover, unlike this tiny utility, the Windows tool does not offer a NTFS volume label for format; the freeware in discussion also allows users to create a FAT32 volume which is larger than 32GB. In addition, HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool enables users to rename all their USB flash drives in any way they want.

I just bought a brand new sandisk 32gb flash drive, which worked fine, until I tried to format it with the HP USB disk format tool because I am trying to create a bootable usb stick (if you own a gigabyte board don't bother trying to do this it will not work, as I have discovered). The tool started, then stopped saying it couldn't format, and now windows can't see the usb stick. I have tried a few other tools which also can't format it. I have tried 'optimizing' it through windows. Should I throw it away and buy yet another usb stick? Thanks
