Bootable USB, how to return to default

[Johnthefast]

Hi there.
I created a bootable windows 7 installation usb and i want to know how to return it to being just a basic data storage device.

Would a full format or a quick format suffice or just delete all the windows files and its good to go?

I had to run boot/bootsect.exe /nt60 to get it as a bootable device < not sure if that permanently changes anything?

Thank you for any replies.

Just run a quick format on it and you should be good.

Hmm k. Wasnt really sure as i havent done it before. had to use Diskpart to set it as active/primary partition .. tell it to look at partition 1 etc. Quick format should reset it all eh?

That usb is So much faster then a windows dvd for installing windows o.o

I didn't have to do any of that when creating bootable USBs, using the Windows 7 DVD/USB Download tool does it all in a couple of clicks. Is that the method you used?

No i had to use this method How To: Install Windows 7 from a USB Key! - Page 1 | Maximum PC
As the windows tool hated my ISO even though it was a legitimate legal one lol; said invalid ISO file
