A Free Formatting Tool For Older HP Computers And USB Drives
The HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool was created to format USB drives and desktop computers that were produced prior to 2012 and computers that run Windows XP. The formatting tool will work with newer Windows operating systems but results may vary.
A Robust Disk Formatting Program
If you are going to use the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool on your Windows 10 operating system then do it in safe mode and do it as the administrator to avoid errors. The program's user interface is frighteningly similar to the format function you may find on Windows XP. It is almost identical right down to the fonts and the colors that are used. Nobody is saying this is a world-beating program but it is a usable formatting option especially if you still use an older computer. Make sure you use the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool in safe mode because much of the coding was specifically inserted for older computers and they can cause massive crashes if they are left unchecked on your computer. You must use the format tool in safe mode and try it out on a USB drive first. Remember to give it enough time to finish its task even if it looks like the software has frozen.
