    Unable to format USB drive in Windows 10


    I am unable to format USB drive in Windows 10.

    Even when I tried copy paste few files from local drive, it is asking me admin permission.

    I tried same thing in other laptop having windows 7 and it works fine.


    In laptop having windows 10, I tried all possible ways which are by default available in windows to format USB drive but none of them working.

    Unlike in Windows 7.


    Can somebody suggest how to format USB drive in windows 10?

    :)

    USB Flash Drive saying not formatted..?

    Hi,

    I have a Memorex Poker Chip USB Flash Drive 1GB, and It shows up fine on one PC as "Poker Chip" in explore, and I can transfer files... but on my other PC (the one I'm on now..specs in profile) it's listed only as H: Removable Disk, and when I click on it, it says: "The Device is not formatted, would you like to format it now? (Y/N). Why would it be recognized on one PC, but the not the other? How come the other PC didn't need it formatted? When I click yes to format it, it says: "Windows was unable to complete the format"

    I went to the BIOS and USB 2.0 is enabled. And Device Manager does list it as a Memorex Poker Chip..
