[Discussion] USB & HPFS

[David Azarewicz]

Yes, I do it all the time.

format h: /fs:hpfs

where h: is the drive letter assigned to the partition on your USB flash drive.  
I always partition my flash drives. I never use them as large floppies, and I 
would assume that you can't format a large floppy as HPFS.
