Hi, Please see this link

Easy way I can think of is windows uses base 2 file size count.
If windows was to switch over to base 10 file size count you would see a bigger size usb.
so if windows had base 10 file size instead of base 2
you would download a file thats 230 mb from the internet and when you look at it on your usb it would show up as 250mb instead. kinda weird eh?
Base 2= binary (0 and 1)
Base 10= decimal (0-9)
Base 16= hexidecimal (0-9 A-F)
Boggin:
Windows use hexadecimal because the memory addresses are so large.
When I created a bootable USB using Windows USB/DVD Burner Tool, I was prompted to format it first to NTFS, but I noticed in the link JR has posted that Diskpart formats it to FAT32.
jraju:
Hi, Boggins,
It will format automatically to NTFS. That is what i know of . But there was no problem. The tool is entirely different.
here we do not use any tool , but some cmd commands and total copy. Whereas usb dvd is set tool for this purpose.
