    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!

    format a dvd+rw disc

    Hi John,

    I apologize for not addressing you in a timely manner. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

    I suggest you to Run hardware and Device troubleshooter
    and check if you can format the disc successfully.

    • Click on the Start button, and type “Troubleshooting” on the search bar.
    • Click on troubleshooting, then click on “Hardware and sound”.
    • Under Hardware and sound, click on “hardware and devices”.
    • A pop-up will appear, click on the “Next” button and your hardware troubleshooting will start.

    Hope the information helps. Keep us posted on windows related queries and we will be happy to assist you further.

    How do you format a disc?

    Windows is unable to format disc

    I am trying to burn photos onto a disc and keep getting the message "windows unable to format the disc". I am using a CD-R and wondering if this is not the correct blank disc to use. This is very frustrating. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
