ASUS X99 Rampage V Edition 10 USB format/Firmware

[Rayxcer]

Hello,

I'm searching for a way to use the driver usb stick from the ASUS X99 Rampage V Edition 10 as a normal USB device.

At the moment it shows up as two devices at the same time: First a dvd drive with all drivers and second as a normal usb with around 1,8GB.

Does anyone know how to use it/has a "normal" firmware for it (if needed)?

Thank you in advance.

 

 

PS: I'm sorry for my broken english, I'm (sadly) not a native speaker.

Can you format the device to clear all the data on it? That should allow it to work as a normal USB device.

Sadly I didn't get a notification, so I'm sorry for my late reply. First, thank you for your reply @Crunchy Dragon.

It didn't show up as one USB drive. It shows up as one USB drive and one DVD-drive even in the disk manager of windows.

I'm not sure, how I would be able to fix this.

Hmm. I'm not entirely sure how to go about fixing this either. Have you tried contacting Asus about it?

I did not. I thought I would just get an email saying (basically) "It's our software and we are not allowed to share to you".

But maybe it's worth a try non the less. I'll mail them. Thank you so far, @Crunchy Dragon.

Open cmd as admin, type “diskpart” then type “list disk” and find the number of the flash drive you want to completely obliterate. Type “select disk *” replace the * with the number. Then type “clean” this will wipe everything on the, including the partition tables. Close cmd.

 

Open Disk Management and then create a new simple volume by right clicking the Black Unallocated space on the Flash Drive. It should work now as one solid standard drive.

 

Just beware that it will delete everything on the drive and it very rarely MIGHT break your drive. It has never broke any of mine but just be careful.

 

Hope this helps

@Husky Thank you for your reply, but sadly it only shows up as 1,8GB USB drive, which could not be true since it also has this a 5,38GB "DVD-drive" on it.
