Guide: How to Format USB Flash Drive Using CMD
10 step to format USB flash drive using CMD via DISKPART
Step 1: Type cmd in the search box, then you can get the best match called Command Prompt. Right-click on it and choose "Run as administrator".
Step 2: On the Command Prompt window, type diskpart and press "Enter".
Step 3: Type list disk and press "Enter". According to the list disk information, check which disk is your USB flash drive. For example, disk 2.
Step 4: Now type select disk 2 and press "Enter".
Step 5: Type clean. Wait some time for disk erasing.
Step 6: Type create partition primary and press "Enter".
Step 7: After diskpart successfully created the specified partition, type format fs=ntfs and press "Enter".
If you prefer other file system formats, change the command NTFS to the desired one, such as format fs=fat32.
As Linux file system Ext2/3 is not compatible with Windows OS, you can refer to a UBS format tool in Part 2 for help.
Step 8: Type assign to add a drive letter to the flash drive.
Step 9 Type remove to eject a drive to unmount
Step 10 Type assign again to a drive letter to the flash drive to check if working properly.
GODSPEED!
