Try this.

1. Open CMD as administrator.
2. Type the following command:
format E: /fs:ntfs (where E is your USB drive letter).
3. Wait for a minute to finish the process.
4. Once Windows finishes the format process, close command prompt.
5. You are done!

This should have worked
If it didn't, maybe your partitions are messed up?
You could boot off a gparted disk and re-partition it and then format it NTFS
Except I don't know why you want NTFS on a 4GB flash drive, that doesn't make much sense

But if it's a 4GB flash drive how are you going to put files bigger than 4GB on there?

If you have Windows XP bootable CD, you can run the setup and format it easily

@glitcher Ya, you can format your USB with XP bootable CD. When the setup starts, it asks the drive which you want to format and install XP. Just select the drive for the USB and then you will get 4 options, to format using
NTFS, NTFS(quick), FAT32, FAT32(quick). Select NTFS quick and format the Usb and after the format is complete, exit the setup.
