Why can non-administrator users format floppy disks but not USB drives?

[CamTron]

This seems strange. I normally use my XP machine as a standard user for security reasons. To format a USB flash drive or SD card requires me to switch users to my Admin account to format it, but I am able to format a floppy disk without needing administrator privileges. What's the reason for this?

dont know the reason

mb maybe u change the default at secpol.msc
