HP Universal USB format tool - safest way http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...swItem=MTX-UNITY-I23839&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN Format so it boots NTFS http://gocoding.com/projects/petousb/O07V7/PeToUSB_3.0.0.7.zip Make your USB Dos bootable http://gocoding.com/projects/bootflashdos/O07V7/BootFlashDos.zip
Depends on the flash drive maker. Most say to use the PC's format command. A few have their own special application. I would check Kington's website for that model drive...
I just use the built in xp format option. I have like 10 usb flashdrives and haven't had any problems using this method.
I've heard the HP tool to be a favor amongst users and Pendrivelinux users. Though I have no idea how 'reliable' it is for security reasons. The built in one with windows seems fine. Just run it over a bunch of times and don't use the 'quick' format option.
