There is a 16GB Kingston U disk, which is formatted as an exFAT file system in order to store HD movies larger than 4GB, but it also brings some inconvenience.

Because some of the colleagues of Microsoft Chiefs are still using the Windows
XP system, when inserting this exFAT format U disk into these computer

When it comes up, there is a strange phenomenon: some Windows XP computers can be recognized to open the USB flash drive, and some computers cannot be opened. The prompt is "The disk is not formatted." Turn. The disk in drive * is not formatted. Want to format now? ”. Figure:

Right-click to view the U disk properties, the file system is displayed in RAW format, and the capacity is 0.

This is strange. Is it that the U disk of the Microsoft chieftain is unstable and wants to break down? However, this U disk is not used for a long time, and it is relatively new.

Thinking that on Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems, there has never been a problem with the inability to open, prompt formatting. The Microsoft chief surely the problem is not on the U disk, it should be on the Windows XP system.

Because Microsoft has supported the exFAT file system by default from the Windows Vista system, Windows XP support for the exFAT file system is implemented by updating the patch. It can be seen that the Windows XP computer that cannot open the exFAT format U disk should not have the patch installed.

After querying in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, the update patch is numbered KB955704. As shown in the figure:

Microsoft clearly stated that installing this update can add Windows XP support for the exFAT file system format.

Well, download and install Update for Windows XP (KB955704), then restart the computer, successfully opened the exFAT format U disk
