I am having problems with my flash drive. It is recognized by Windows as my
f: drive. When I do a properties on it, it says the file system is RAW and
that the used space is 0 bytes and the free space is 0 bytes. I can not
format the drive. I had read online where creating a partition through
computer management might fix the problem. When I right click on the f:
drive
under disk management, create a new partition is not an option. (in
computer
management, the drive is showing a capacity of 124 mb and 124 mb of free
space. ) Where exactly on that screen am I supposed to right click? Why is
create a new partition not an option?
It is quite possible that the FLASH drive has failed. This is not as
uncommon as you may think. I have several that install as apparently a
removeable disk that has no media in it (and thus has 0 bytes of storage).
It is not possible to create a partition or format the device because
Windows believes that there is no media to do this on. Disk Manager shows
the unpartitioned FLASH memory size. This sounds remarkably similar (if not,
identical) to your problem.
Ditch the FLASH stick and replace with a new one, there is nothing you can
do.
