    This is actually not possible under default situations. Alternatively you can do one thing. In Windows XP, you can go to the drive properties - Hardware - Select the USB Drive - Properties - Policies - select Optimize for performance and click on ok.

    Now format it using NTFS file system. Give permission only to read / write and block for format. Hope it solves your problem... 😀
