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!

 

Hardware reserved memory at 14GB!

My hardware reserved memory for some reason is at 14GB. I don't know what caused this but I've tried unchecking the maximum memory and many other suggested fixes. I understand that Windows controls the reserved memory, but this seems way too high and it's causing performance issues. How do I reduce the reserved memory to a reasonable level and free up RAM?
