I needed to reformat my USB Flash Drive so that it was in NTFS format so I could grab an ISO image of the new Microsoft Windows 8.1 and while I figured out how to get to the format program, when I reformatted my 16GB flash drive to the needed format, it ended up only showing that it had 200MB of capacity. 200MB? Really, Microsoft? How the heck do I get this to work?<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave&#8217;s Answer: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re on the same path, my friend, because I too hit this problem for exactly the same reason: I&#8217;ve been using a Kingston 32GB USB Flash Drive without incident for a long time, even using it with Windows 8 as a simple &#8220;old school&#8221; file transfer tool. Apparently, however, I wasn&#8217;t hitting any of the file size limitations on the FAT32 format so it worked just fine. Until the 3.6GB ISO disk image that&#8217;s part of the Windows 8.1 preview release. A file that size is just too darn big and the NT File System (NTFS) becomes a requirement.<\/p>\n<p>For all of Windows 8&#8217;s refinements and Metro UI changes, however, working with this sort of thing is still crude and visibly unchanged since, what, Windows 2000? You&#8217;ll see what I mean.<\/p>\n<p>Worst is that when I hit that weird 200MB flash drive glitch the easiest solution I found was to download and use a third-party flash drive formatting program from my old corporate alma mater, Hewlett-Packard. I&#8217;ll explain as I go, but let&#8217;s start with the official Microsoft way of reformatting a USB flash drive in Win8 since hopefully that&#8217;ll work fine for most everyone.<\/p>\n<p><BR CLEAR=LEFT><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.askdavetaylor.com\/ntfs_format_usb_flash_drive_on_windows_8_size_200mb.html\" target=\"_blank\">Article Continued Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><font SIZE=\"2\"><\/p>\n<p>This post is excerpted with permission from Dave Taylor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:www.askdavetaylor.com\">Sign up for Dave&#8217;s emails<\/a> about free tech support and special offers on books, seminars, workshops and more.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.askdavetaylor.com\/how_to_buy_new_windows_8_win8_app_store.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/flashformat150.jpg\" alt=\"flashformat150\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-44544\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Reformatting a USB flash drive in Win8 comes with bizarre challenges. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":66012,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[799],"tags":[538],"class_list":["post-44540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ask-dave-taylor","tag-windows-8"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
