Solved
Jampit -  
Hello,
After formatting my hard drive, it appears as an icon with a question mark on it.
How can I format it to NTFS for normal use?

    I can see the disk grayed out when I use this command, but I have no option to format it. The command is also grayed out.

          We will try with DiskPart then:
          - Start DiskPart: for this, start --> run (shortcut Windows + R) type diskpart and click OK

          - List the disks: type
          List Disk

          - Choose the disk to format
          Select Disk xx
          (xx being the number representing the USB drive)

          And execute these commands, 1 by 1 (1 command = 1 line)
          clean
          create partition primary
          format FS=NTFS Quick
          active
          assign

          and finally exit
          exit
