Hi,

Right click My Computer/Manage/Disk Management, in the lower right pane,
right click on the large removeable storage device, assign a drive letter
and then format the drive.

Hope it helps.

Please, please! How many idiots are there who insist on using devices on a
PC without reading the user manual.

If you had read the user manual, you would have found this out. If you have
a decent product it would also containd a CD with the applications you need
to prepare your USB drive, all via a well written step by step user
interface. Thus not relying on any real Windows expertise.

Please, can you and any other impatient soul, take a few minutes to work out
what you need to do by reading the user guide.
