Did I just ruined my USB thumb drive?

[KarsonC]

Hello there,

 

Last night, I am copying around 14GB of files from the external usb drive to the thumb drive.

After copying for few minutes, the thumb drive become unable to write or delete,

it keeps going I/O error "Error 0x8007045D: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."

Did I ruined the drive? I have this past experience doing the same thing I think and it's the third time.

 

The thumb drive is the 32GB Sandisk Extreme 3.0, is it a faulty product or my problem? It never happened in other portable drives. Thanks

 

Cheers,

open command prompt, type in:

Diskpart

list disk (do you see your USB here?)

If so carry on:

select disk #

clean

 

then go into your partition manager and format it to fat32/NTFS or whatever you require.

Did you try formatting?

 

Try a different USB port first.

Try a different USB port first.

That doesn't help, I tried another computer and one with Windows XP, neither one works it just keep saying unable to format

select disk #

clean

I have got this after the clean action done.

If KarsonC tip didnt work than its likely its dead.

 

Head into disk management while the USB is plugged in and check it. From there try to format it.

Or it could be simply the USB controller is overloaded and can't supply enough power for both the USB disk and the thumb drive? 

 

try plugging one front one back or both back 1 top of IO ports one bottom

Nope, nothing can be done by it, still same unable to format issue.

Now even only the thumb drive, nothing can do with it other than read and copy out.

its not write protected is it? does it have a physical switch on it? id say spin it up in linux as this sounds like its been connected to a mac or nix box and not properly ejected and locked.

Change the USB port, could be the port thats dead.

I had a thumb drive die on me the exact same way. 8GB 3.0 Never worked again....

Nah, it's the Sandisk Extreme 3.0, no switch what so ever. I don't think modern thumb drives will have that physical switch anymore. I am copying it on the same PC, USB drive to thumb drive. It hangs during the copy and said that error I/O problem. =(

Change the USB port, could be the port thats dead.

Not even working on another computer, sent to RMA and picked up a new free one already.
