# 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 youve 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.

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 doesnt 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, youre good to go. Go to the [Power
Supply](../build-a-box/power-supply) section to learn more.
***
### If Im powering the Butter Box with a solar panel, do I need a power bank?
A power bank isnt strictly required, but its 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 Boxs local IP address manually,
or scan a QR code that takes them directly to the content. Since its all
offline, theres 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 doesnt have fixed built-in memory. You can choose anything from a 16GB
card up to 1TB (the Raspberry Pi Zero2W supports microSD sizes up to
that). We recommend 256 GB.
| Use Case | Suggested micro SD Size |
| ------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Basic setup (apps + message board) | 16GB 32GB |
| Additional content or media storage | 64GB 128GB |
| Handling large content packs or files | 256GB or more, up to 1TB |
***
### 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 theyre 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.
