Are you having problems when you go to "Clean" the device in CMD Prompt? Or is this method not working for you? I made another video that takes different steps when reaching that part. Check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-beDLlMWK8VQ.html
FAT32 can only use 32GB, so any flash drive over 32GB -like the 64GB USB I hope to use as a persistent live USB- won't work in diskpart. SanDisk SUCKS when it comes to making a bootable or live USB.
Mine took like over two hours on 128GB San Disk not sure if you were joking to say if takes 10 mins, but it took longer from FAT32 to NTFS. Thanks for the video, still works 7 years later.
Thank you very much. Following your precise and concise demo I have successfully reformatted a RAW usb to FAT32. Among many videos claiming fixing such, yours is the best I found.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I formatted my 16G flashdrive and Windows told me that it couldn't finish reformatting. I looked online and found you video, after completing your steps it worked. THANK YOU
killlswitchh input / output errors are usually a physical issue with the actual device or the slot in which your inputting the device. I suggest taking a q tip with a little bit of rubbing alcohol to the slot & metal strips of the card.
killlswitchh If that doesn't work generally it's hard to diagnose the actual issue. Either try a different SD card, if that works then your problematic SD card may be out of luck. If a different SD card doesn't work then it's the computer/devices input jack.
Thank you for this it really solve my problem although there is one thing i must do before this, is when you cant active it if the flashdrive is not mbr so i change my FD from gpt to mbr so that i can active and format my FD. Thank you once again.
You just earned a new subscriber and I hope that you get more info out so If I have problems I can figure out more(THX NOW I CAN PLAY MY RAINBOW SIX SIEGE)
how to fix it if in the DISKPART> clean DiskPart has encountered an error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. See the System Event Log for more information.
Thanks! helped me recover a few usb keys I used for chromebook installs and other odd stuff. I really appreciate you taking the time to post this to help out.
No usable free extent could be found. It may be that there is insufficient free space to create a partition at the specified size and offset. Specify different size and offset values or don't specify either to create the maximum sized partition. It may be that the disk is partitioned using the MBR disk partitioning format and the disk contains either 4 primary partitions, (no more partitions may be created), or 3 primary partitions and one extended partition, (only logical drives may be created).
I have this isssue with diskkpart when i do the command clean : "DiskPart has encountered an error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. See the System Event Log for more information."
I have tryed for about 4 hours (2 were lost using a recovery tool witch i don.t think was much needed but, after using it and retrying this steps, it worked). I don't know what I did or how the fortune got it to work after watching your video, but, if it works 100% (it is at 2% completed right now), i will be in the ninth heaven :D
After did your all steps My USB not showing.. I hear a connect sound and my antivirus can able to scan the device but my USB is not diplaying what to do now..?
thnx my man i can do this at my friking 8GB usb and its not saying anything failed thnx my guy i know yoou have uploaded since 6 months and i really hope you see this
I'd like you to Format USBs (Flash) into NTFS to get a more optimized file system which supports files and Partitions larger than 4GB, unless you are also using a Mac environment, where Macs don't support writing data on NTFS drives, or what you are formatting on is an old flash usb with capacities below 2gb.
omg man i type clean and it say it succesed in cleaning but i go to compmgmt and it say that is still healthy primary partition RAW format (it say its healthy but dont think it is its not it need format but my computer say windows was unable to format this disk
create partition primary and this error no usable free extent could be found. it may be that there is insufficient free space to create a parititon at the spacified size and offset. specify different size and offset values or don't specify either to create the maximum sized partition. it may be that the disk is partitioned using the MB disk partitioning may be created>. or 3 primary partitions and one extended partition, . plz help me now
A question, if i may. I tried to fast format my usb.. took a lot of time. I then decided to do it normally. I forgot about it, i interrupted that format,took the usb out, when i put the usb in again, it makes a recognition sound, but it does not actually recognize it. I cannot format it nor enter the usb. hat shall i do? I think my usb is damaged beyond repair..
Wow you clever so and so, worked first time, Currys wanted £35 to wipe it but had nothing on it and not sure if that would have formatted it anyway, cheers mate.

Please select a partition and try again"
Iove you...Was trying to install a windows on my empry hard drive laptop and there was some error and I had to to clean the hard drive but somehow I selected the usb and I didn't know how to restore it..Thanks for the video mate liked n subbed!

Really sorry I'm late, my phone didn't notify me of this comment. You can try my other method here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-beDLlMWK8VQ.html
I’m sorry for the late response! My Grandmother whom I lived with & grew up with every day passed away and I haven’t been able to get onto RU-vid and respond to my viewers. Thank you SO SO much for your support & comment, I cannot express how happy I am that you took the time to reach out to me. Seriously, thank you so much.
Thanks; i've been using DISKPART since windows 95:-) however i got some errors today: DISKPART> clean DiskPart has encountered an error: Access is denied. See the System Event Log for more information. DISKPART> create partition primary DiskPart succeeded in creating the specified partition. DISKPART> format fs=ntfs DiskPart has encountered an error: The system cannot find the file specified. See the System Event Log for more information. So RUFUS did the job for me, with one single click :-)
waaaaaaaaah~ omg omg. thank you very much. it help me a lot. dang it I use any link and search some videos but somehow it fails but when I check on your video double blast it. it work! omg IT WORK. thanks a lot man. keep the good work : )
helo thanks for ur help. but i have a problem out here. after typing "clean" it succeeded but after i checked the drive that i cleaned, it is not unallocated, still primary partition.. :( please help me on this
I have a 16gb that shows as being 64gb. When trying to format using this I get "No usable free extent could be found, it may be there is insufficient free space to create a partition at the specified size and offset..." It lists 1 partition but can't select. Any ideas?
Hi there, I have followed your instruction to the letter but @format stage I get 0% completed, Virtual Disk Service Error, The Media is write protected. I have tried other ways to override write protection but to no avail. In computer management @ Disk 2 removable it says 29.30GB Read Only I'd be grateful for your help. Many thanks Ted
mine says No Usable free extend could be found. it may be that there is insufficient free space to create a partition at the specify different size and offset values or don't specify eather the maximum sized partition. it may be that the disk is partitioned using the mbr disk partitioning format and the disk contains either 4 primary partitions, (no more partitions maybe created , or 3 primary partitions and one extended partition, (only logical drives may be created)

Hi I've tried this method, but sadly still no luck :( I've got a 500gb flash drive and my default setting is exfat would like to change it to ntfs so my smart tv can recognize it. I've tried everything, don't have the "add nee volume option" either in disk management. Tried every method i've found on the internet so far PLEASE HELP :((
I’m so sorry for the late response! I haven’t been in a good state of mind after my Grandmother whom I lived with & grew up with every day passed away. I went into a dark place for a while there, but thank you SO SO much for your support & comment, I cannot express how happy I am that you took the time to reach out to me. Seriously, thank you so much.
Thank you! Sorry to hear. So, the max volume for FAT32 is under 4GB file types. First, I'd try and format it to NTFS, then, wipe it and try FAT32. Or, check out my other video at: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-beDLlMWK8VQ.html - and let me know if that works.
I have watched your both videos but every time i stuck at the point of: DiskPart has encountered an error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. See the System Event Log for more information. 1) according to this video, I struck when write clean, this msg comes. 2) according to second video this msg comes after delete partition override. Please suggest what to do.
Normally I/O errors come about when there is damage to the USB male input socket or the female input socket on your computer. If you're using a laptop, I highly suggest trying the OTHER side of the laptop. Some of those motherboards are finnicky and won't properly format a USB on a particular side. Also, if that doesn't work, do you have another computer all together you could try it on? Maybe even a friends?
great thanks for your nice educational video but when i typed the command(clean) i got the message that the disk is write protected knowing that i want to format a ram of cell phone of size 16 giga byte and i already tried to format it in the normal usual way but i got the the same message,so what should i do?
yeah, Ive done all of that and it don't work. My usb went from fat32 to raw and when you try to format it shows unable to format, disk may be corrupt,it shows RAW healthy prima But everything I've tried does not work. Including the cmd
i have a 128gb micro SD showing 119.75 available but can also see files that are still on it. Unable to format, clean or repair this in ANYWAY.. Is this fixable or on it's way to the dump? thanks!
Hello, I have an issue. It(cmd) won't let me clean the disk, the message I get is as follows: DiskPart has encountered an error: The semaphore timeout period has expired. See the System Event Log for more information.
Sorry I'm late here, busy week! If this video doesn't do the trick, try these steps from my other video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-beDLlMWK8VQ.html Let me know if it helps
Hi Cyberpunk, great video and easy to follow. I get stuck at the last part and I get the following errors. For "format fs=fat 32" I get "virtual disk service error: The volume size is too small When I use "NTFS" I get disk part has encountered an error: The parameter is incorrect." Could you possible suggest a reason why I get the following errors? Anyway thanks for your time anyway.
I've try the step but when I try and clean the disk 2 selected, I get an error that says diskpart has encounter an error: the request could not be performed because of an I/O device error...pls help
Hi and well done on the very easy tutorials. However, I have a problem. When I type in "active... I get this message.... "Virtual Disk Service error: The object is not found." I've no idea what I'm doing wrong as it looks exactly like yours up until that point. Please help :(
Thank you so much for helping people with there issues, I am using your video here an it is helpful however I have run into a small problem at the very end when it comes to the "format fs" command When I enter format fs = fat32 I get a message saying "Virtual Disk Service error; The Volume size is too small" Then I tried using format fs = ntfs and that gives me an error message "Diskpart has encountered and error: the parameter is incorrect" Anyone have an idea what this means? Did I enter something wrong?

Sorry to hear, generally that error occurs when there's a locked partition on the drive. Try my other video and let me know if anymore errors pop up: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-beDLlMWK8VQ.html
