Some flash drive manufacturers allow users to write to a file system based on FAT32, but if you want to use them, you will need to format them to use NTFS. If you format a flash drive like this, all the data on it should be deleted. You must first back up or copy files from any flash drive to another PC when you are about to change the directory structure of the drive.
