    Hi Castean 333,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    1

    First try this in Disk Management:

    Open Disk Management ( accessible by right clicking your Start Button)

    Right click the partition on that USB drive and select 'Delete volume'.

    That drive will then be marked as 'Unallocated Space', right click that and select 'new -Simple Volume' and accept the defaults.

    Does that successfully format the USB drive?

    2

    If that does not work, open Command Prompt asAdministrato.

    Run this command and hit Enter:

    diskpart

    Run this command and hit Enter:

    list disk

    (Make note of the disk number of the USB you want to wipe and enter it into the next command - replace X)

    Run this command and hit Enter:

    select disk X

    Run this command and hit Enter:

    clean

    Then close Command Prompt

    Then go into Disk Management, the drive should be unallocated space, create the new volume on that.

    Hi Castean 333,

    If AOMEI cannot remove the partitions on that drive, then that drive is corrupt and may have failed
