   I don't know why you consider either of the above useless,   
   when they can avoid the need to hand-format a FAT file   
   system.   
      
   And I think I mentioned before - do you not have a   
   smartphone? They can format a USB stick too.

   Do you have a way of writing raw disk sectors to a USB   
   stick using Windows?   
      
   I believe it isn't easy and multiple versions of Win32 Disk   
   Imager were published for that reason.
