The NTFS file system has many advantages over FAT32, but, unfortunately, the option to format the flash drive to NTFS does not come enabled by default in Windows XP.
When you try to format the Pendrive through Windows Explorer in Windows XP, only the FAT32 option is displayed in the "File System". To work around this limitation you have two alternatives; or you run the right command at the prompt or enable this option in Windows Explorer.
See the details below to perform formatting pendrive in NTFS:
1 - Format command line
Assuming that the pendrive is in the drive "H", open the command prompt (cmd.exe) and enter the following command:
Format H: /FS:NTFS
Soon, the pendrive which is in the drive "H" will be formatted in NTFS.
2 - Enable the option in Windows Explorer
To enable the, check the following path:
Start > Settings > Control panel > System > Hardware > Device gerenciador
Expand the "Drive" and you'll see your Pendrive. Click with the right mouse button on the pendrive and click "Properties".
On the "Policies", select the "Optimize for performance".
Soon, Now the NTFS option will appear in the "File System".

As stated, The NTFS file system has many advantages over FAT32, but can also end up holding you back in some situations. If you want to go deeper in the subject, I suggest the article that makes a site Tecmundo Comparing NTFS and FAT32.
I followed all the tips, USO XP, and when NTFS format my pendrive, the message: Windows was unable to complete the formatting. By prompt the following message appears: You can not record in the second NTFS boot sector. Error trying to format.
My flash drive is a Data Traveler SE9.
Thanks for the tip
FACE, ALREADY TRIED ALL POSSIBLE METHODS, BUT GAVE NO, I'm trying and appears HAIR OF THE FOLLOWING: TYPE OF FILE SYSTEMS IS RAW.
BRAND NEW FILE SYSTEM IS NTFS.
CHECKING 7649 MB
0 Percent completed
BUT DOES IT TAKE TO GET IN VERY PRA 100%
It is NORMAL ?
Valdemir, when Windows indicates the type of file system is RAW, means that it does not recognize the type of system where the drive was formatted. This happens when you formatted the drive with a file system type, eg, Linux specific.
Another reason may be that the stick has not been removed “reliably” or power has fallen before him ejected. This can corrupt the Windows partition and no longer gives recognize the recorded files.
Regarding the delay, it may be that your USB stick is faulty, or else the USB port you are using. Try formatting on another computer to test.
If you want to recover the files in pendrive, suggest a post How to fix an external drive that suddenly turned RAW [English].

You can best describe why not succeeding?
You entered the command “Format H: /FS:NTFS” at the command prompt (cmd.exe) and gave an error message?
Write here in more detail than try to help.
Abs.
tip for those who do not ta achieving, even using the command “CONVERT”:
writes well: CONVERT [UNIT]: /FS:NTFS /NOSECURITY /X
the “/nosecurity” will allow all disk sectors are accessible to anyone, no protection.
the “/X” is who will do the magic. It will unmount the volume before performing the conversion, leaving the facility 100% accessible to Windows
I've tried reinstalling Windows XP several times but failed . The process starts from CD, but all that comes is a blank screen. But why?
For quick search I did, can be a lot of things that are causing this white screen during installation. Can be hardware, BIOS can be, may be your CD, etc.. Do a search on Google for “Blank screen installing windows XP” and see if it helps you.

Diego, for its description, Pendrive making noise when the move, it seems that he is something broken.
When you insert this Pendrive in micro, the operating system recognizes it? If not recognizing, is likely to be defective and you really will not get to format it.

Formatting through the operating system:
The file system used by the pen drive is FAT / FAT 32. You can view the file system of your pen drive using Disk Management in Windows XP. Log in: Control Panel –> Administrative Tools –> Computer Management –> Disk Management. You can also display the Windows Explorer: position the mouse pointer on the removable drive letter and click with the right mouse button, go to Properties.
