[SOLVED] Unable to make FAT32 to NTFS

[SadLandscape]

Title says all everytime I format it as NTFS it says sucessfully formated but when I eject it safely and plug it back it shows as a RAW file system. It's Samsung USB 3.0.

No it's working in FAT32 format but when I reformat it in NTFS partition after replugging it doesn't recognize file system.

It's 8 gb and is working normal in FAT32 file system everything is working fine. And it wasn't that cheap.

if you format it back to fat32 again, does it still work?

Yes it does.

What do you mean it wasn't cheap? A 8GB USB key nowadays is like 5 dollars.

A 32GB Samsung USB 3.0 Key is 10 dollars on Amazon.

I meant it was like 1 or two dollars, it wasn't cheap compared to normal price.

Normal price isn't under a dollar. That was pretty cheap for a 8GB USB Key and it might be a very fake one at that.

Bought from where?

USB drives are supposed to use FAT32, not NTFS. Even if NTFS was viable on such a small drive it would save you very little space.

From unofficial source (I don't speak english very well so don't judge )

It may be fake, it may be faulty.
Have you tried methods other than simple "formatting"?

Commandline diskpart and the clean command, perhaps.

Yes I tried and won't say it's fake because I placed whole 4gb of files in that usb and it didn't say there is not enough space, as alternative method I used EaseUS partition master no luck.

Why do you insist on using NTFS over FAT 32?

Rufus should work with FAT 32

Rufus should work with FAT 32

I'm scared of rufus tbh I lost another 8gb usb because of this, that's why I bought this. Ok let me try.
Edit: it doesn't let me choose FAT32 btw. Any suggestions?
