Windows 10: Help with formatting internal HDD

I have an HP Desktop with a C: 256 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD and D:1 TB 7200 rpm SATA HDD.I going to install a larger SSD, clone the small SSD and use the new SSD as the boot drive. The D: drive had no data on it.However, I thought I'd test the cloning process first and cloned the SSD to the HDD using Acronis probably a mistake!.

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

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!
