HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool

[webfork]

tiny freeware utility which has been designed for the HP Drive Key or DiskOnKey USB 2.0 devices. Installing it does not represent a problem whatsoever, since it is very compact and it can be run out-of-the-box, i.e. no installation is actually required.

I don't think 1 and 3 below are accurate, but I do know that I had a Mac formatted flash drive I couldn't get WinXP to even look at. This program seemed to do the trick.

1. Allows users to select USB drives for formatting
2. Allows users to create a FAT32 volume which is larger than 32 GB
3. Rename all their USB flash drives in any way

If you use another program for this sort of thing, please post.

Thanks for testing.

I did indeed. Was an earlier edit that I meant to edit and instead resubmitted. Deleted.

It's a formatting utility, which requires admin rights in all Windows since XP, if I'm not mistaken... BTW, there are only two required executables inside the installer and those can be run independently (stealthiness unchecked!). Been a long time user of this and it saved my bacon more than once.

I'd also recommend getting the (Matsushita/Panasonic's?) SD Formatter as well as Bootice for a well furnished flash memory toolkit.

Thanks. Anything on portability for those two?

Old topic update: just found HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool in Softpedia latest "7-DAY TOP DOWNLOAD" at #7, with 11,597 downloads in the last week!

As you noticed, Bootice got its own forum entry now. Dunno about SD Formatter, but it works without install...

Used this again today. It's becoming an important part of my toolset.

Again found a reason to have HP USB Disk storage on my computer:



I didn't buy a 256 gig flash drive to only use less than 1% of it.

(I will try to add this program to the database in the near future.)

You seem to have run into the limitations of the vanilla FAT format. HPUSFT does the job, but BOOTICE would be handy in this situation, too...
