formatting a disk in E: drive

Hi Katherine, I'm Graeme, an independent adviser here to help.

Here are the steps you can follow to format your E: drive. Please note that this will remove all files on the drive, so make sure there's nothing on there you don't want to lose.

- Go to File Explorer (Windows Key+E)

- In File Explorer, right-click your E: drive and select Format...

- Enter the settings you'd like, then choose Quick Format.

Hopefully this helps! Please let me know if you need further support! Thanks!

 

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!

 

"You need to format the disk in drive E: before you can use it"

Hi Kelvin,

As per the info that you have provided, I understand that you are unable to use the Flash drive as it prompts the error "you need to format the disk in Drive E: before you can use it". Even after re formatting it, you are still receiving the same error.


If the above scenario is true, I suggest that you reformat the drive but with NTFS format and check if the same error displays after plugging it onto the PC. Also try to plug in another Flash drive with a FAT format and check if the error reappears

Hope this helps
