Hello
My friend gave me an USB that says "insert disk in to removable disk x" I tride to format usb but is says device is not ready or windows has no access to it.
I also tried with CMD to clean and same error plus I tried chkdsk and it said "the file system is RAW".

Is there a way to fix it?

Thank you

It might work on another device.

I have a USB stick that works fine on everything but my tower.

Shows up as two 1GB partitions (is 1GB in size) and read-only, but on a laptop shows up fine as FAT32, not read-only, and just 1 1GB partition.

PLEASE STOP [Killing] ME I WILL GIVE Y OU ANOTHER DEAL.

I tried on 2 different laptops and same problems on both

@Perso Try the following commands in order:


convert gpt
clean
convert mbr
clean
create partition primary

And after that you should be able to format it through file explorer (or cmd if you fancy).

For some reason I can only convert to mbr but gpt and clean still give me "device not ready"
