[W] Format your Flash drive with NTFS

Format your Flash drive with NTFS file system when there is no option for it



Right-Click on My Computer > Properties
Click on Hardware Tab > Device Manager
Locate your Usb Drive > Right-Click > Properties
Click on Policies Tab > Optimize for performance
Click OK
Close all windows
Now format your Drive; NTFS option will be now available

Note: NTFS file system is very delicate on flash drives. With NTFS you absolutely MUST use "Safely remove" option every time, unless you want to corrupt your data.
