    Exclamation Can't Format a USB Flash Drive?


    I have a CDR-King 8gb flash drive. It is about half way full. I found some folders that have invalid file names(.exe & scandal.exe) that I can't remove, so to remedy this situation I want to format the drive. I have tried using many different methods such as:

    1. in "my computer" right click on the drive and then "format" - I tried both quick and regular format and it does not work saying that the disk is write protected

    2. right click on "my computer", then "manage", then "disk management" then select the drive and then click format - this didn't work, I tried reassigning the letter to the drive and that did not work.

    3. in command prompt I tried "format f:" and got the message: Invalid media or Track 0 bad - disk unusable - so no go

    4. I tried various software such as KillDiskSuite Free, Low Level Format and HDD Wipe from HDDGuru.com - and that didn't work.

    5. I tried to do error checking through "my computer" right click on the drive and then go to the tools tab and chose Error-Checking - there if I check "automatically check disk errors", then after a few seconds i get a message "windows was unable to complete the disk check"

    AND at the same time, I can access the files on the flash drive and work with most of them with no problem.
    Solution:
    http://www.pqi.com.tw/upload/faqs/TW...FD10216(1).exe (21.1MB file)

    this is proven if you don't have a license antivirus.











    now you can format your thumbdrive easily.

    bisan unsa bro. stated above cdrking ang gigamit.

    itaod nimo daan ang flash drive before ipa run ang software.
    then automatic mo detect mana ang software.
    then follow lang sa mga pics posted above.

    tungod raman guro na sa virus mao dili ma format iyang drive basi sa iyang ge suwat.
    I found some folders that have invalid file names(.exe & scandal.exe)

    what if ang chip maoy na corrupt..parehas sa kang vensoy bah nga pang factory gyud ang flashing.
