Message appears "windows couldn't complete the format". Also "the disk in drive 'H' can not be formatted. In disk management it says "Basic, file in page - Partition setting, Type - blank, status-healthy, capacity & Free Space - #.73 Gb, fault tolerance - No. also other readers I insert I have given, and I don't want to reformat, came up with the same message." Ports support my modem to broadband and also plug a mouse. I'm running out of patience. All information will be gladly accepted.

Hello

By default, Windows offers the option to format a USB drive with FAT or FAT32 filesystem only, but not with NTFS (New TechnologyFileSystem.)

The reason behind this is that there are a few disadvantages of NTFS usage in this case. First of all, the recording on flash drive speed decreases (but the speed of reading the data on the disc is the same), and be more careful to always remove the USB flash drive safely.

 

However, you can still format the Flash drive to NTFS. Follow these steps for the same.

1. Insert the USB key into the USB port.

2. click on Start, type devmgmt.msc in the search text box and press enter.

3. find hard drives and expand it.

4. find the USB flash drive you want to format, and then double-click it. He opens the Properties dialog box.

5. click on the policies tab.

6. by default, the optimize for quick removal option selected, go to the option optimize for performanceand then pressOK.

7. now, open computerRight click on the USB Flash drive and select Format. The Format dialog box will now appear.

8. Select NTFS for file system .

9. press Start and wait while the process will be completed.

10. now your USB Flash drive is NTFS format.

Kind regards

  • What is the unit allocation size that is displayed in the window to format USB?

    What is the unit allocation size that is displayed in the window to format usb

    Hi Moaz,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you want to know the unit allocation size that is displayed in the format USB window. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I will certainly help the question of fixing.

    In computer file systems, a cluster is the unit of allocation of disk space for files and directories. To reduce the load of the management of data on disk structures, the file system allocates no individual disk sectors, but contiguous groups of sectors, called clusters.

    On a disk that uses 512-byte sectors, a 512-byte cluster contains one sector, whereas a 4-Kibibyte (KiB) contains eight sectors.

    Refer to the below mentioned article and see if it provides information that you are looking for.

    By default for NTFS cluster size, FAT and exFAT:

    Hello Lej2050,

    Thank you for your message.  Try formatting your drive flash from the command line.
    Plug in your USB key
    Click 'Start' > click 'my computer '.
    Make a note of the drive letter that is using your USB key, you will need this information later.
    Click "Start" > click "Run" > type cmd in the text field and press "Enter."
    In the command prompt, type the following command:
    format (drive letter) : and press enter

    example: format e: [Enter]
    Please let us know if it did or did not format your drive.  If this does not work, check if your can format the drive on another computer.  If you can not then something is not physically with the flash player.
    We can't wait to hear back on your part.
    See you soon

  • Windows is unable to format USB

    So I bought a new USB and I can not format it. It is said: "windows cannot format this drive. My USB does not display its size. Could someone help me?

    Thank you.

    Go to the search box of the start menu, type Management then right-click on computer management shortcut that is offered to you & select run as administrator.  When open dialog box [it takes several seconds], select disk management.

    Be sure to identify the good drive your corrective action would ruin your PC if you have accidentally identified the wrong disc.  The USB which probably has no assigned drive letter, but special partitions inside the PC can also not need them.  Use the info in the list of drives & in the illustrations below them to be sure that you select the correct drive.

    The column shows status of the list is it formatted [probably NTFS or FAT32]?  Its size is shown correctly?  If so right click on the entry of the reader in the list & select change the letter drive & paths.  Give it a drive letter permanent [will continue to apply after the restart & when you plug it in next].  There will be a warning that any process using the player will be disturbed by the "modification" of the drive letter.

    If this does not fix it normal procedures don't then reformatted the drive, return to this dialog box & format it.

    If only it does not then correct you will need to examine the disk with a Partition Manager.  There are several available free but now are probably not the time to sit and learn something new.  If any of your friends or colleagues are familiar with these utilities then try the free version of EaseUS Partition Master® or Partition Manager 12 Free Edition [Paragon seem to have become obsessed with Facebook - the software is also available for download on CNET.]
