  2. Windows 7 wont install drivers

    +1

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage

  3. 4gb micro sd wont format

    I was copieing files over to my mico sd and windows crashed and when i went to go access the flash drive it said curupt and need formated, i was a little poed but was like whateva.

    long story short, its formated in RAW and it wont format to anything else, tried windows xp and windows vista, cmd doing format d: ect.

    Tried using a program to shred the partition and write over it 37 times to make sure it was clean but nothing works.

    any suggestion?

    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!
