Reformatting a Flash Drive


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a flash drive that was originally formatted using UStorageTool. It has

a public and private (secured area). I deleted all the files from the secured

area and then changed the partitions to be 99% public.

 

I want to reformat the drive with another security tool, but it would not

let me. So I ran a Windows quick format on the device, and then copied the

new tool format to the flash drive.

 

Everytime I run a formatting tool it says "USB device not ready or not

Administrator". Even logging in as Admin does not allow me to get into the

USB flash device. I can see it and access files on it, but I cannot reformat

it with a tool such as SimpleSafe.

 

Any ideas on how I screwed up my drive?

 

Thanks,
