Windows flash drive formatting issue

WindowsServerATE — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 14:07:14 +0000

I tried to format a flash drive in NTFS, but it seems to take forever to complete formatting. Is this normal? I also tried formatting the same flash drive in exFAT, which took much less time to complete. However, I can’t use the flash drive with my laptop because it doesn’t have exFAT as a file system for formatting? Why is this and how can I fix it?
