By default windows format pen drives with FAT file system, which has
it's own limitations. FAT file system cannot store file larger than 4
GB. But nowadays we have transfer files more than 4 GB. The NTFS is
more reliable & dosent have these limitations.
To format in NTFS do the following:-
Plug in your pen drive.
Right click on the icon of your pendrive in my computer select Properties.
Go to hardware tab.
Select your pen drive & click properties button below. Select Policies tab.
Select Optimize For Performance.
(This trick is already given by me this will increase overall speed of
ur pen drive.)
Now again click ur pen drive icon in my computer.
Select Format.
Click on File System Box.
& voila you see NTFS & format your pen drive.
Another Method:
You can also convert your pen drive as you convert hard disk
partitions from fat to ntfs.
Open command prompt. In command prompt window type:
" convert drive_letter: /fs : ntfs"
Without quotes
For eg.
convert H: /fs : ntfs

Note:-
You can't use this pen drive in win 9x & me. Because both windows dont
support ntfs.
I've used Windows Xp with sp3. Plz test on os like Vista & tell me if
it works. [/b]
