So no menu could actually be because ... you've already erased the menu program from it.

You should be able to download the program itself from the maker of the drive, then re-install it.

I don't think OP means the AutoPlay menu because it wouldn't have an option like 'How Often to Format Drive'.

Come to think of it that option doesn't even make much sense to have at all ... OP are you sure it was 'Format' and not some other term?
