As all of you know at normal circumstances we could format a USB pen drive in FAT only. I need some method or software that could format USB pen drive to FAT32/NTFS or atleast to FAT16. Please help!

u can format it in FAT32 format,
all u have 2 do, plug in ur dirve into d hub
open d win exlporer, hightlight d pen drive, right click on it, select d format option,
den wen a window opens, from a list of file sys option just select d FAT 32 option and click on d start button and u will have a freshly formatted flash drive

I have heard that there are many unneccesary headers in FAT32 for a USB thumb drive is there any way we can rewrite the FAT32 Table.

Plug the drive in,

Right Click on My computers, then Manage, and then navigate ur self to Disk Management !!! Right Click on in USB partitions, and Dlete them to creat new ones...

Thanks to slugger and choto for your replies, that was pretty nice. Now can you please suggest me a way to edit the fat32 table to remove unneccesary headers that take up the space.
