Normally you don’t need to do this for everyday USB drive usage. It is used by people who want to boot a Linux operating system from their flash drive or people who want to create partitions on their flash drive. I have written another article about flipping the removable bit on your flash drive with the Lexar BootIt tool.
Partition Active or Non-Active: Allows you to make the partition on your USB flash drive Inactive. Again, for normal operation it’s best to leave this at the default setting.
Do Not Load System Files: Check the checkbox next to “Do Not Load System Files” before formatting with the Lexar USB Format tool. You only need to load system files if you want to be able to boot from your USB drive.

Solving Problems With Your USB Flash Drive
I have been able to solve a number of different flash drive problems with this tool, and I can confirm that it will sometimes work with certain other brands than Lexar as well. For instance, when I was dealing with a USB flash drive that threw a “Windows was unable to complete the format” error and that was unreadable in Windows Explorer, I managed to reanimate the flash drive with this tool.
Please be advised though, that there are so many different brands and models of flash drives out there that your mileage may vary. My advice would be: if your drive has become unreadable and it seems lost anyway, give it a try with the Lexar USB Format tool before you decide that your USB drive has died. On the other hand: flash drives are pretty cheap. You can also replace the thing if it keeps causing issues. If something is really wrong with it, you can easily spend the better part of your day trying to fix it and that may just not be the best way to spend your time.
