After downloading the ZIP file, you need to extract it to a folder on your computer. You can use any file extraction software, such as WinRAR or 7-Zip, to do this. You will see a folder named \"FC_MpTool_FC8308_FC8508_FC8406_v04.01.00\" that contains several files, including \"FC_MpTool.exe\", which is the main executable file of FC MpTool.

However, it is recommended that you don't run it from an external storage device (such as another USB flash drive), as it may interfere with the formatting process.

Before you do this, make sure that you backup any important data on your USB flash drive, as formatting will erase everything on it. Also, make sure that you plug in only one USB flash drive at a time, as FC MpTool may not be able to distinguish between multiple devices.
Once you have prepared your USB flash drive, plug it into your computer's USB port and wait for it to be detected by FC MpTool. You will see some information about your USB flash drive on the main window of FC MpTool, such as its model name, serial number, firmware version, capacity, and status.
To format your USB flash drive, click on the \"Start\" button at the bottom of the window. You will see a progress bar that shows the formatting process. It may take some time depending on the size and condition of your USB flash drive. When the formatting is done, you will see a message that says \"Format OK\".
You can now unplug your USB flash drive from your computer and check its properties on your file explorer. You should see that its capacity and performance have been restored to normal. You can also use your USB flash drive on any other 0efd9a6b88
