No need to FORMAT. Plus, it's not good to change the policy, even if you have NTFS usb stick. There a better way. Just open a DOS (Command Prompt) window, give (e.g. if your USB is volume F: and has label "my_volume"): <b>CONVERT F: my_volume /FS:NTFS</b> and that's it! Simple, quick, safe and always working!
