闪存盘是一种小型而便携的电子设备，它使用闪速存储器保存数据，并利用USB（Universal Serial Bus，通用串行总线）和其他设备连接。了解如何格式化闪存盘相当有用，当你希望永久删除闪存上的数据或者移除损坏文件时，这就能派上用场。为了和其他设备，例如电子照相机及音乐播放器等取得兼容，你可以格式化闪存盘，让它的文件存储系统由FAT（File Allocation Table，文件分配表）变为NTFS（New Technology File System，NT文件系统），反之亦可。

{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images_en\/thumb\/7\/7c\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/7c\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-5.jpg\/v4-728px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><\/div>"}
5
在弹出菜单中点击"格式化"。这将弹出格式化窗口，它的标题将显示将要进行格式化的磁盘。
- 无需改动其容量。计算机将自动检测闪存盘的容量并填充该项。
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images_en\/thumb\/2\/2d\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-5Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-5Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images\/thumb\/2\/2d\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-5Bullet1.jpg\/v4-728px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-5Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><\/div>"}
- 如果你希望计算机能在对闪存盘进行格式化前先检测闪存盘的硬件是否能正常工作，请勾选"快速格式化"。如果你希望节省时间且不需要检查闪存盘硬件，不要选中该选项。
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images_en\/thumb\/c\/c7\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-5Bullet2.jpg\/v4-460px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-5Bullet2.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/c7\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-5Bullet2.jpg\/v4-728px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-5Bullet2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><\/div>"}
- 保留默认的分配单元大小。

选择格式化闪存盘所需的文件系统。以下是在作出选择时需要考虑的因素。
- FAT是用于保存文件的最基础的文件系统。该系统有时速度较慢，但由于其简单性，它总能避免某些兼容性问题。
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images_en\/thumb\/1\/1e\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-6Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-6Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/1e\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-6Bullet1.jpg\/v4-728px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-6Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><\/div>"}
- FAT32能最大化你的驱动器磁盘空间。如果你希望能在可用的存储空间中保存大量文件，该系统是你的理想选择。
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images_en\/thumb\/d\/d9\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-6Bullet2.jpg\/v4-460px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-6Bullet2.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/d9\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-6Bullet2.jpg\/v4-728px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-6Bullet2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><\/div>"}
- NTFS是一种快速系统，它允许你快速地使用自己的文件。NTFS最适合将被大型软件使用的驱动器。
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images_en\/thumb\/b\/bc\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-6Bullet3.jpg\/v4-460px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-6Bullet3.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images\/thumb\/b\/bc\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-6Bullet3.jpg\/v4-728px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-6Bullet3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><\/div>"}

{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images_en\/thumb\/1\/16\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/16\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-7.jpg\/v4-728px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><\/div>"}

完成选择后，按下格式化窗口下方的开始按钮。

{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images_en\/thumb\/2\/28\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-8.jpg\/v4-460px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-8.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.zenmeban.com\/images\/thumb\/2\/28\/Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-8.jpg\/v4-728px-Format-a-Flash-Drive-Step-8.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><\/div>"}
8
在弹出窗口中按OK进行确认。USB闪存盘上的所有数据将被删除，驱动器将根据你的设置进行格式化。
小提示
- 对USB闪存盘的速度和计算机上USB端口的速度进行比较。你可能会考虑换一个更快的闪存盘或者在计算机上安装高速USB端口，以便能获得更快的闪存盘格式化或者数据传输速度。
警告
- 在开始格式化闪存盘前，确保你选中了正确的驱动器盘符。错选了盘符，将会错误地格式化另一个驱动器并导致其上的所有数据丢失。
