  No worries, mate! Just fire up the Command Prompt, type in a few commands, and you'll be good to go. Here's what you need to do: 1. Plug in your USB drive. 2. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box. 3. Type 'cmd' and hit Enter to open the Command Prompt. 4. Once the Command Prompt is open, type 'diskpart' and hit Enter. 5. In the DiskPart utility, type 'list disk' and hit Enter to see a list of available disks. 6. Find your USB drive in the list and remember its disk number. 7. Type 'select disk X' (replace X with the disk number of your USB drive) and hit Enter. 8. Type 'clean' and hit Enter to remove any existing partitions on the USB drive. 9. Type 'create partition primary' and hit Enter to create a new primary partition. 10. Type 'format fs=ntfs quick' and hit Enter to format the USB drive with the NTFS file system. 11. Type 'assign' and hit Enter to assign a drive letter to the USB drive. 12. Type 'exit' and hit Enter to exit the DiskPart utility. That's it! Your USB drive is now ready to rock and roll with cryptocurrency wallets.
