+      <h3>Date: 23-08-2024</h3>
+      <hr>
+      <p>Formatting a USB in Linux is easier then <a href="01BurningIsos">burning an ISO</a> and only needs a few quick commands!</p><hr>
+      <h2>What you will need 📋</h2>
+      <ul>
+        <li>A USB drive</li>
+        <li>A computer with Linux  🐧🖥</li>
+        <li>The ability to read instructions and to follow them 🧠</li>
+      </ul><hr>
+
+      <h2>Formatting the USB</h2>
+      <p>1) The first thing you want to do is plug in your USB stick and identify the USB stick's name.</p>
+      <div class="code-box">
+        <p>lsblk</p>
+      </div>
+      <p>Normally the USB will be something like sdX; a tip on identifying it is by looking at the size of the USB in the table that lsblk gives you!</p><hr>
+
+      <p>2) Now you need to use a program called <a href="https://linux.die.net/man/8/fdisk">fdisk</a> that will allow you to create a new partition table for the USB, this will format the USB.</p> 
+      <div class="code-box">
+        <p>sudo fdisk /dev/sdX</p>
+      </div>
+      <p>You will need to press the following keys to make a new partition table for the USB.</p>
+      <ul>
+        <li>o - Creates a new DOS partition table</li>
+        <li>n - New partition, press enter to all that follows</li>
+        <li>w - Writes the partition table</li>
+      </ul>
+      <p>Give fdisk a minute to write the new partition to the USB.</p><hr> 
+
+      <p>3) Now is the time to give that partition a file system. You should look into this beforehand to see what file system you want, but I will use fat32 because it works with all operating systems.</p>
+      <div class="code-box">
+        <p>sudo mkfs.fat -F 32 -n "Backup-USB" /dev/sdXx</p>
+      </div>
+      <p>The small x represents the number of the partition; the -L flag is used to give the USB stick a name.</p><hr>
+
+      <h2>Finished ✅</h2>
+      <p>All done! Now you have an empty USB stick you can use for all your files!</p><hr>
