dunno about windows, but you can format it on any linux, even on live USB. Or just with live gparted.

No volume appears at all, strange so hear the sound on connection, at this point you should try with another Computer...

MADE IT SOMEHOW! after all it allows you to manage enough stuff in the blue zone, first to delete the partition made from the tv that the pc didnt read and show than to create (with formating) new partition and it works fine now. l put some stuff on and tryed it on another pc, and, the other pc also reads the usb fine with the stuff on it. THANKS A LOT !

glad you sorted that out on win.....

And gparted......download, create bootable USB drive with gparted on it and than boot from it instead from your hard drive. The rest is very similar to what you have on windows but since it runs without any OS than you can do a lot more things with all the drives.
