Best Answer

One can format a flash memory drive on a Windows PC operating system by right clicking on "My Computer" and going to "Format". Then one needs to select or deselect a quick formatting option and select the desired file system (usually the default is fine). Then one needs to click "Format" and wait for the formatting to complete.
