When I put it into my computer:
When I click format disk:
In short, the disk never reformats (I get an error message letting me know that Windows was unable to format the drive). Whats going on, and how do I fix it?
Solution:

- Start > Run
- Type:
diskpart - Execute:
list disk - Execute:
select disk #(# is the number of your USB) - Execute:
clean - Execute:
create partition primary - Execute:
