Open a command prompt and execute the following commands to create a partition (explanation in bracket, which should be ignored):
Diskpart (text-mode command interpreter to manage objects such as disks, partitions, or volumes)
list disk (displays a list of disks and information about them)
select disk 1 (assuming the USD key is detected as disk 1 from the list generated by “list disk” command. This setting must be correct or else you may accidentally wipe out the hard disk instead.)
clean (removes any and all partition or volume formatting from the disk with focus)
create partition primary
select partition 1 (the only primary partition created by command above)
active
format fs=fat32 (use FAT32 file system)
assign (assigns a drive letter or mount point to the volume with focus)
exit
I use this. Works like a charm with no 3rd party apps needed.
