Sometimes while formatting a pen drive , we get an error-Windows was unable to complete the format.Also in the explorer window ,the drive is shown but without showing total memory and free memory and if you try to format it ,it shows error.
In this post I will show you, step by step, how to solve this problem and repair your pen drive.This method works both on windows 7 and windows 8.
- Now right click on computer, select Manage.Computer Management window will open.Select Disk management and all the drives on your system will be shown.
- Go to bottom of window, right click on your pen drive and select change drive letters and paths .Remove the previous name and assign any other name which is not previously assigned.
- Then again right click on pen drive in computer management window and select New simple volume.A wizard will open .Click next and select FAT32 as file system.Again click next and your pen drive will be formatted and all space will be recovered.
If you face any problem in implementing above steps ,do let me know in comments.
