To erase a custom logo from the BIOS and return the default HP logo to the display, use: ereplogo /e

3. The General Properties window opens, showing whether the USB key uses an NTFS or a FAT32 file system.
To format the USB key as FAT32:
1. Insert the key into an available USB port, and then open Windows Explorer.
2. Right-click the highlighted listing for the USB key, and select Format.
