    Formatting problems


    Hello, I am having problems with the formatting process, it's pretty not letting me formatting my computer, I formatted my computer successfully 2 times, those 2 times were because of my performance's laptop, but now it's not working and I'm doing it because of a performance and virus problem, how can I resolve this? I just plug in a USB and go or what? Thanks for reading this and have a great day.

    Sorry if something is misspelled or anything like that, but my English grammar isn't the greatest, I'm from Italy and that's why

    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!

    2. list disk =====> Take a note of disk # for the 4TB HD
    3. select disk # ====> From step 2
    4. clean

    Open Disk Management and initialize the disk as GPT, create simple then format.

    Formatting problems

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
