USB Problems Again... TECHIES PLEASE HELP!

[animegirl1990]

Okay I stated in my last question here that I was having problems with exFAT not copying all of my games over. I did what the person said and formatted it into NFTS format and it worked fine until I plugged it back in today and it went back to exFAT format and my stuff didn't copy over... And I am having problems with the USB not formatting because it said "corrupt drive" so it took me 3 times to format it last night. This is so frustrating. Please help!

So it's a pendrive or an external hard drive? which model? if it's a pendrive give this software a try to format it: http://www.techspot.com/downloads/6582-hp-usb-disk-storage-format-tool.html

2 things to try? attempt to copy the data to an external hard drive or another flash drive. also, open a command prompt, type diskpart, then list disk. then select disk (0,1,3 whatever the flash drive is) then type clean. it will wipe the drive completely. then type create partition primary, then type format fs=fat32 quick. that should do it. you should be able to remove and plug in the drive. if after that you still have issues, the flash drive itself may be failing.

diskpart
list disk
select disk (X)
clean
create partition primary
format fs=fat32 quick
