# How to Reformat Your USB Drive
|
||||
|
||||
After connecting your USB drive to the Raspberry Pi you will see the “Explore USB” title displayed on the portal. If you’ve tried refreshing your portal page and still do not see the “Explore USB” tile then you may need to erase your USB stick and reformat it.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When you format a USB drive, all files and folders on the drive are removed and replaced with a new file system. This can help repair any issues with the flash drive itself or make it compatible with new files you want to transfer. Be sure to back up your files before formatting your drive. <br/>
|
||||
|
||||
**Check the Format of the USB**
|
||||
|
||||
* On your desktop or laptop, plug in your USB
|
||||
* Right, or double-click on the USB
|
||||
* Click on “Get info” and verify the Format
|
||||
* Your USB needs to be formatted to ExFat or Fat32, MS-DOS (FAT).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Reformatting Steps on MacOS:**
|
||||
|
||||
* Connect the USB drive to a USB port on your computer.
|
||||
* Right, or double-click on the USB
|
||||
* Click on “Erase Disk…”
|
||||
* You can rename your USB at this time
|
||||
* Select the correct format, either ExFat or ExFat32 or MS-DOS (FAT)
|
||||
* Then tap “Erase”
|
||||
* A message may appear warning you that all content will be deleted. Select “Erase”
|
||||
* This may take a few minutes. The USB will disappear and reappear on your homescreen
|
||||
* Verify the drive is correctly formatted
|
||||
* Right, or double-click on the USB
|
||||
* Click on “Get info” and verify the Format<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
**Reformatting Steps on Windows:**
|
||||
|
||||
* Connect the USB drive to a USB port on your computer.
|
||||
* Open the File Explorer and select "This PC" from the menu.
|
||||
* You can find this option in the left panel, next to a monitor icon.[\[2\]](https://www.wikihow.com/Format-a-Flash-Drive#_note-2)
|
||||
* On Windows 7, click Computer on the right side of the Start window.
|
||||
* Right-click the flash drive's icon. It's beneath the "Devices and drives" heading in the middle of the page. This will bring up a drop-down menu.
|
||||
* Choose "Format". This will open the formatting window.
|
||||
* Click on "File System" and choose the MS-DOS, FAT32, or exFAT format.
|
||||
* [FAT32](https://www.wikihow.com/Format-FAT32) - The most widely compatible format. Works with most computers and gaming consoles.
|
||||
* exFAT - Similar to FAT32, but designed for external hard drives (e.g., flash drives) and quicker use. It's a universal format that is most common across Windows, Linux, and Mac.
|
||||
* Select "Start" and click "OK" to finish formatting your flash drive.
|
||||
* A final prompt will appear, Click “OK”. Your flash drive has successfully been formatted.<br/>

# FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
### Does the Butter Box give me the internet?
|
||||
|
||||
Not quite. The Butter Box doesn’t provide internet access. Instead, it creates its own local Wi-Fi network that lets you access apps, content (previously set up), and message board features offline . Everything is stored and shared locally — no internet or data connection needed.
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
|
||||
### How do you power a Butter Box?
|
||||
|
||||
The Butter Box is super flexible! You can power it using a USB power bank, a wall adapter, or even a small solar panel. As long as it provides power to the Raspberry Pi, you’re good to go. Go to the [Power Supply](../build-a-box/power-supply) section to learn more.
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
|
||||
### If I’m powering the Butter Box with a solar panel, do I need a power bank?
|
||||
|
||||
A power bank isn’t strictly required, but it’s highly recommended. Solar panels can be inconsistent — clouds, shade, or changing sunlight can interrupt power. A power bank helps smooth that out by storing energy and keeping the Butter Box running steadily, even when sunlight dips. Check it out this use case to know more: (insert use case URL)
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
|
||||
### What are the security features of the Butter Box? Can I put a password on it?
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, the Butter Box broadcasts an open Wi-Fi network — that means no password is required to connect. This makes it easy for people nearby to join, especially in offline or community settings.
|
||||
|
||||
However, users must either enter the Butter Box’s local IP address manually, or scan a QR code that takes them directly to the content. Since it’s all offline, there’s no exposure to the internet or external threats.
|
||||
|
||||
You can configure the Raspberry Pi to require a Wi-Fi password in the admin settings. Refer to the [Security](../security) section for more security features.
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
|
||||
### How much storage does a Butter Box have?
|
||||
|
||||
The Butter Box storage capacity is defined by the microSD card you install — it doesn’t have fixed built-in memory. You can choose anything from a 16 GB card up to 1 TB (the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W supports microSD sizes up to that). We recommend 256 GB.
|
||||
|
||||
| Use Case | Suggested micro SD Size |
|
||||
| ------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
|
||||
| Basic setup (apps + message board) | 16 GB – 32 GB |
|
||||
| Additional content or media storage | 64 GB – 128 GB |
|
||||
| Handling large content packs or files | 256 GB or more, up to 1 TB |
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
|
||||
### Can I customize it?
|
||||
|
||||
Absolutely! You can add, for example, your own content - dropping in PDFs, videos, images, and HTML pages to build a local library, or add your own apps - including Android APKs (even if they’re not on F-Droid).
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
|
||||
### My USB drive is plugged into the Butter Box, but the content is not displayed on the portal. Why?
|
||||
|
||||
Yout USB drive is probably in the wrong format. Your USB needs to be formatted to ExFat, Fat32, MS-DOS (FAT). Refer to [Reformatting Your USB](how-to-reformat-your-usb-drive) for help.
