I didn't need to format any of them. One was simply defective: did not show up on Device Manager so couldn't format anyway.

Make sure that you extended the usb fully. You don’t need to format the flash drive first

Danielle · Answer

Yes needs formatted first

Make sure that the drive is completely open - you have to press it hard until it 'clicks'. Otherwise it will look like it's all the way open but isn't and won't go far enough into the USB port to make the connection.

Drives should be fat32 formatted.  If you need NTFS then you need to reformat.
