Umm to my knowledge formatting is formatting. Just right click the drive in file explorer. Then select format. The only difference that will make is the cluster size. I found a good size for my 32gb sd card to be 32kb. Your cf card may be different. I highly recommend testing individual settings for yourself to find the optimal cluster size. Remember though that usually there isn't always a perfect cluster size. The highest performing cluster sizes in my experience all gave the same amount of frames.

Formatting the card in-camera before starting shooting usually does the trick
