    In disk management itself, right click on the usb drive's partition and format.

    If disk management creates a fuss, try using the HP disk format tool.

    Plug it into your computer and just format it normally.

    Navigate to My Computer and right click the USB. There should be a format option.

    See if this helps:

    Try following this Tutorial: USB Windows 7 Installation Key Drive - Create

    Omit Step 10 and finish with Step 16. Note that Step 7 may take some time to complete. Please be patient. You might be better off omitting the quick option in Step 11 (in other words, just use format fs=ntfs).
