  1. Cannot format Windows.


    Hey, first of all all of my problems started with the usb i plugged in at my computer it was kingston. Apperantly, it had some trojans etc but my licenced kaspersky found it and removed it. But just before the removal, it wanted to restart computer so i did. Everything was normal until i couldnt open my game because of insufficient someting memory etc dont remember. After i tought about the virus that has been deleted as kaspersky stated, i wanted to make a new fresh start. I would format my pc.


    1. I tried in built windows formatter. It did not work, gave me "we can't format your computer "error.

    2. I tried to repair startup, cannot repair.

    3.Tried 2 different bootable usbs, made with windows's own tool via different pc. Can't even boot bc my sand disk brand usb became kingston in name the first usb that had trojans on boot manager.

    4. Then tried to open bootable windows usb after the windows started just like you run your normal usb as it should start even if double click on it. It gave no errors but eternal loop after you select format this computer. 5 seconds after you select that, it asked me again if i want to reset my computer. Eternal loop.

    So after all i cant even format my pc. My last resort will be taking out my c harddisk. Then will try to format d disk and install fresh windows inside.

    Note: By the way, i cant even access my pc> manage apperantly mmc exe is not allowing me to access for my well-being. If it is a virus, i'm surrendering. If you have any idea to salvage my hdd before i destroy it, your welcome and i appreciate any help you can provide.

    :)

    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!
