Re: Re-using a flash drive
Click start click on my computer you should see your usb drive
right click then select format
another way is to control panel administrive tools computer management disk management right click on your drive select format
formatting will remove all data stored on your usb drive
hope this helps
Finding the formating was a bit tricky but it worked. Cleared all my sticks. Thanks.
if you ever problems with these drives you can also run the chkdsk utility right click on your drive select properties click tools you should see click check now click start two boxes automatically fix files and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors place then a tick in one box then select check now start or you might tick one box then return after its finished the first repair then return and tick the second boxI have found better results ticking the first box then reurn and tick the second box you should not do anything while the chkdsk utility is in progress any input may damage this drive
