Ntfs formatted 32g flash drve?
I'm trying to backup my HD. Windows 10 says I need a ntfs formatted flash drive. Hmmm.... how do I know if a flash drive is ntfs formatted vs Fat32?

- Shipped from the factory it is most likely FAT32. You can easily change that by reformatting using Windows to do it. In the format dialog just select format type NTFS. The bad news is 32gb is most likely too small a drive.
- Computer is trying to repair itself and I am being given options to fix it and have chosen to back up files first. It showas 14.4g of files to be backed up. Since computer is in the "fix it" mode I can't format the flash drive. Any suggestions? Can I format the flash on a different computer and then use that flash on my computer?
- Yes, you can format the flash drive on another computer.
