Will not format - unknown capacity -

it's works on unknown capacity format problem


Requirements: A "corrupt" USB thumb/flash drive, and windows vista/7.


First of all, RESTART YOUR PC...(this is the only way it worked for me...hopefully it works the same for you)


1. Plug-in your USB flash drive to USB port.


2. Open Command Prompt with admin rights. Use any of the below methods to open Command Prompt.


*Type cmd in Start menu*


3. You need to know about the USB drive a little bit. Type in the following commands in the command prompt:


>>> First type DISKPART and hit enter to see the below message. (this opens the disk-partition manager)


>>> Next type LIST DISK command and note down YOUR FLASH DRIVE'S Disk number (eg: Disk 1). BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHOOSE YOUR PRIMARY HARD-DRIVE.


4. Next type all the below commands one by one. Here I assume that your disk drive no is "Disk 1".If you have Disk 2 as your USB flash drive then use Disk 2.Refer the above step to confirm it.
So below are the commands you need to type and execute one by one:


SELECT DISK 1


CLEAN


CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY


SELECT PARTITION 1


ASSIGN


FORMAT FS=NTFS
(Format process may take few minutes)


EXIT


If you did everything exactly, then your USB drive should be goos as new.
