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!

 

Error Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table.

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I understand your inconvenience. Don’t worry. We will assist to resolve this issue.

The error message is saying that your BIOS is UEFI but your disk's partition system is not GPT. In order to verify this claim:

• Open any CLI (cmd or PowerShell)
• Right click on the start button and select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type "diskpart" (without the quotes) and hit Enter.
• Wait for it to load (the command line will begin with DISKPART>)
• Type "list disk" (without the quotes) and hit Enter.
• GPT disks will have an asterisk in the far right column.

If your disk is indeed GPT, there's a problem with the installer. Otherwise, change BIOS to legacy mode to install on an MBR disk.

Try the above suggestion and let us know if it helps. For further assistance feel free to post your queries in Microsoft forums. We will be glad to assist you.

Thank You.

 

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that
