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!

How to add disk to USB

Hi , Rhean.

Step 1. Run Windows CMD as administrator.

Step 2. With the prompt running, enter the command "diskpart"

Step 3. Put Command "list disk" check tab which is USB Flash Driver.

Step 4. It is based on the amount of space in your USB. and put the command "select disk 3".

Step 5. The next command is "clean", which will permanently delete all data from the selected disk/partition, including partition mapping.

Step 6. After cleaning the disk, let's create a partition with the command: "create partition primary"

Step 7. Now let's format the disk with the command: NTFS the entry would be "format fs=ntfs"

Step 8. After formatting and use command: active and assign.
