Fixing a USB with DiskPart

First, I opened the terminal. You can do this by searching cmd (Command Prompt) on Windows In there, I typed diskpart, which opens a separate program, shockingly called diskpart :O To see all your disks, type list disk, which should print out something like this

    Disk ###  Status         Size     Free     Dyn  Gpt
    --------  -------------  -------  -------  ---  ---
    Disk 0    Online          931 GB  1024 KB        *
    Disk 1    Online          953 GB  1024 KB        *
    Disk 2    Online         1862 GB      0 B        *
    Disk 3    Online         7388 MB      0 B

In this case, I want to format my 8 GB USB drive, which would be Disk 3 You can identify your disk based on the size in this case, the size is 7388 MB, which translates to around 7.2 GB.

if your unsure what device it is, you can run the command and then unplug the USB and once you run the command list disk again, one of the entries should be gone, which would be the USB entry Then reconnect the USB and select it by doing select disk 3, 3 being the number of my disk yours might be different

Let’s quickly confirm that we are on the right disk Run list disk again, and you should see that the selected disk has a little symbol next to it

  Disk ###  Status         Size     Free     Dyn  Gpt
  --------  -------------  -------  -------  ---  ---
  Disk 0    Online          931 GB  1024 KB        *
  Disk 1    Online          953 GB  1024 KB        *
  Disk 2    Online         1862 GB      0 B        *
* Disk 3    Online         7388 MB    0 B

ok so quick warning for the next step we are going to reset the usb witch will DELETE ALL DATA on it so make sure you have the correct disk selected!!!

Next, we use the command clean that will clean and remove all data on the USB. Now, to make a partition, we run create partition primary and now, to format, we just do format fs=ntfs quick then last step, we do assign to assign a drive letter to it. And boom, usb back up and going!
