In essence, the computer doesn&rsquo;t start up until it loads a few files from the boot-enabled device.<\/p><p>Once a pen drive has been made bootable, you cannot use it to store more media or files (unless stored in separate folders) until it has been unbooted and returned to its original condition or rendered unbootable.<\/p><p>To utilize a USB drive as a removable USB once more, we must convert it back to FAT format from NTFS after making it bootable (we&rsquo;ll talk about this shortly.) You can easily do this using My Computer or This PC application.<\/p><p>This might sound confusing, but we are here to help. Stay with us as we explain all the steps one-by-one, so you can convert the bootable pen drive to a normal one.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-are-the-ntfs-and-fat-memory-file-system-differences?\">What are the NTFS and FAT memory file system differences?<\/h2><p>Two important categories of Windows operating file systems are FAT and NTFS. NTFS is the abbreviation for New Technology File System, while FAT stands for File Allocation Table. Both offer benefits and drawbacks regarding accessibility, speed, security, and other factors.<\/p><p>Your USB needs to be changed back to FAT format to copy and transfer data across multiple devices, such as movies, documents, or music, as FAT facilitates data sharing across various operating systems.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-can-i-convert-a-bootable-pen-drive-to-a-normal-one?\">How can I convert a bootable pen drive to a normal one?<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-using-the-format-option-in-my-computer\">1.
