  1. how to quick format a CD


    I have 14 CDs that I need to re-format. I'd like to use quick format, and that option appears on the Format options, but it will not allow me to check on it. I know erase is a lot faster, but for legal reasons don't ask LOL that is not acceptable.

    Thanks for you help.

    :)

    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!
