    RE-using windows license on formatted pc


    My situation is that I need to completely format my drives, the windows drive included, because resetting through windows settings fails. I have a retail license, connected to this account. After wiping clean the windows drive, and installing windows again through ISO file- is there a way to use my license?

    :)

    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!
