    Formating laptop


    I had a problem with my storage, which is I cannot open the file explorer. so I can't access to my personal data inside the storage, and I wanted to format my laptop, but when I choose "remove everything" nothing happened. there's still old files and application, and I still cannot access my file explorer.

    :)

    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!

    3. select disk # ====> From step 2
    4. clean
