How can I manually partition / format my USB Flash drive?

If you desire to manually partition / format my USB Flash drive in a correct way, please follow the steps below:

1) Hit Start, type “command” and you’ll see “Command Prompt” listed as the main result. Right-click that result and choose “Run as administrator”

2) Type the following command and press Enter:

diskpart

3) On this step, you should select the correct disk number for your USB flash drive and enter the disk number instead of [Your Disk Number] without the square brackets. For selecting the correct disk number, please pay attention to the disk Size section. Type the following bold commands and press Enter after the command:
