    Diskpart problems?


    I used the following method to create a bootable USB flash drive and got the following error straight after the "Active" command was typed. "Diskpart has encountered an error. The system cannot find the file specified. See the system event log for more information". All the other commands were successful.
    diskpart.
    select disk <X>, where X is the drive number or drive letter of the USB flash drive
    clean,
    create part pri,
    select part 1
    format fs=fat32 quick
    active

    I did a couple of things slightly differently.
    1. I added Convert MBR after the Clean command to ensure that the flash drive was converted back to MBR partitioning from GPT partitioning.
    2. I removed "quick" and did a full format instead so that the flash drive would be checked for errors as well.

    I have tried this method on two different flash drives and get the same error each time.
    I ran an SFC scan on my laptop to see if anything was wrong and checked for malware. Everything is fine. Can anybody tell me what Im doing wrong?

    :)
