[SOLVED] USB flash drive requires format, but fails to do so.

[Barbatum083]

I have a Corsair 128GB Voyager Slider X1 USB 3.0 Flash Drive that I was using to copy a Windows 10 ISO to, using the media creation tool. During the process, I walked away for a bit to do something and when I came back I noticed that Windows Explorer was no longer responding and the media creation tool process was stuck at 50%. After trying to End Task on explorer, unsuccessfully, I was forced to restart, since I didn't know what else to do. When my pc restarted, the USB drive prompted me to format it, but couldn't format. I tried to run chkdsk on it, and I tried to format it in cmd with diskpart, which informed me it couldn't because the drive was a RAW. I have no idea what happened and I just bought this flash drive.

Thanks, although I was able to get it working again with Diskpart, eventually.
