¿You already tried this one?...

Run CMD

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 #

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!

 

Unable to select 'Action required' for a new Memory Stick - Win10

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused with the memory stick.

This issue might have occurred if not tried on other USB ports or if the chipset drivers are not updated.

What is the make/mode of your computer?

I suggest you to try it again on the same USB port or another port. Ensure that the memory stick is connected properly.

Also update your chipset drivers and check.

You may run the hardware and device troubleshooter and check if it fixes the issue.

• 
  Type troubleshooting in the search bar.
  
• 
  Click view all in the left panel.
  
• 
  Select ‘Hardware and devices' and follow the on-screen instructions.
  

Hope it helps. Keep us posted on the memory stick issue. We are happy to help!
