  1. Q & A: 'format'


    goal

    be able to use ssd

    see ssd + hdd

    diskmgt Postimages
    drivessss Postimages

    'disk 0' is ssd (dont know why it doesnt even show a name - guess need to use a better tool/app to show that would show this better )

    facts

    os came like this, split between both

    all i want to know

    if it's easy to 'format' part of sdd (and not have to format whole thing) then ok
    this seems to be case

    only wanna know how format ssd

    there ~230 of space that can be used for stuff

    what are steps to format the empty un-used space

    that is all i care about, nothing else



    other things clutters up the thread and makes it very hard for me or anyone else to read or use

    terms used drives disks partiion letters all make everything confusing and this topic extremely hard to search

    see 2 drives inside a computer


    what are steps to format the empty un-used space, that is all

    lsit steps
    1.
    2.
    3.

    if i need to download the best tool to do this, can do that


    to do w/e this 'format' thing is in a few steps, if it's not simple or easy cos os is split between 2, THEN ill think about other options/routes

    :)

    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!

    Q & A: 'format'

    Changing Time Format

    Hi Mary,

    There's a possibility that the set up time format in your computer Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is military time. To have this checked, you can try to reset the time of your computer through Control Panel. See the steps below on how to do
    so:

    • Open Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region >
      Change date, time, or number formats. This would open the
      Region
      window.
    • From there, click on Additional settings at the bottom part. It will open the Customize Format.
    • Click Reset; then, OK.

    The steps should work; however, if not, we suggest that you contact manufacturer and have the BIOS time checked.

    Let us know what happens after doing the suggestions .
