Oh thats is not something to worry about.
1.Double click My Computer
2.Select the flashdrive
3.Right click it and go to Properties
4.Select Format using the FAT32 not NTFS
5.If this processes are not working, you got to use the COMMAND PROMPT.
COMMAND PROMPT
1.Make sure you are in the flash drive options
2.Type FORMAT: then press ENTER.
