Usually you'd only format when you want.

The reason it's forcing you to format is because the data is corrupted. sorry

Make a backup of them, that means just open your USB on the computer, then drag-and-drop the files to a different folder on your desktop or wherever.[/quote]

no i mean like the files that are on the usb that says it needs to be formated can i format it without it deleting the files[/quote]
Format = delete. You cant format something with out deleting it, then its not formatting. Duh.

Format: Format means to delete all of its files, folders and such. Completely "format" the USB.

Example:
"Urghh I need more space in this disk so I can add some music into it.. its filled with junk -__- " No worries nooblet, simply format your disk!
