How to Format and Fix Corrupted USB Flash Drives?

Simply right click on your pendrive or usb flash drive in windows explorer and choose format it.

When formatting the flash drive, there is an option called “File System“. Now choose “FAT“. Remember this is not FAT32. After that just click on format and wait.

After that you can continue using your flash drive like normal.

    Did you do a full format on the flash drive using file system “FAT”? Not the FAT32. Otherwise they may be bad sector occur in the flash drive due to improper way of unplug from your computer. You may try scandisk on your flash drive after that. Hope this will fix it.

    I guess this is a hardware issue. Did you drop your flash drive? Did you try putting in another usb port? Do it recognize on another computer? There is many possibilities for not able to recognize your flash drive. Maybe your USB driver in windows is corrupted. If all this is not the causes then there is high chances that your flash drive is damaged and cannot be repaired.
