USB flash drive recognize as internal HDD

Speed Weed

For some reason, my USB drive recognized as internal HDD. I tried formatting the drive, but it doesn't solve the problem why it is recognized as an internal HDD. How do you guys fix this? Volume 7 in Diskpart is my USB, and it is supposed to be label REMOVALABLE in Type, not PARTITION.

Seems fine, Windows knows it's a USB drive, it's normal for a drive to not work until its partitioned and assigned a letter and it works, right?

But this USB drive recognized as an internal HDD. If I try to install Windows using this USB, Windows will going to detect this USB drive as an internal HDD.

Ok, try the following in diskpart (warning though, this will erase everything)

 

Select disk 4

 

Clean

 

Create partition primary

 

Select partition 1

 

Active

 

Format fs=fat32

 

Assign

 

What these commands will do is erase the entire drive of EVERYTHING and reset it's partition scheme back to default values for a usb flash drive.
