How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

¿You already tried this one?...

Run CMD


1. diskpart
2. list disk

Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

2. select disk #
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

good luck!

 

Disk management console view is not up-to-date

i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


enter in
DISKPART
list disk

then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
type in

Select Disk 7
List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
ASSIGN


that should get the array up and running ready to use.


EDITED.

any problems, post back ^^


Still EDITING *Stick Out Tongue

side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

 

Formatting of a disk with 2 old partitions

Hi all,

I have an old hard drive taken out from a Windows XP computer. The hard drive has 2 partions: one with system and all other files (docs, users and so on )and another partion which was a recovery part of the same drive. Now I want to format the whole disk
and scratch all the data on the disk. I'm using Windows 10 and the hard drive is connected with the external cabinet. I want to create one partion. Currently the partions are called HP_PAVILION (formatted NFTS) and HP_RECOVERY (formatted FAT32). The partitions
have been assigned letters H and G, respectively, in Windows 10 by file explorer.

Shortly: how to format the disk and create only one partion?

Regards
