<p>I used to have this problem. I just formatted them - to hell with fat(anything)(!) If there are files that you need on these drives, find a Windows box and save them to something else first: maybe your smart phone, google drive, Blackberry Box, school online drive; if you need the flash drives to plug into a Windows box, it won't read ext4, but I just save files for this purpose to a "cloud" drive.</p>
