DISKPART Commands to format pen drive

Need to know before starting from scratch

Disk partitioning: the process of creation of two or more regions on secondary storage devices like the hard disk.

Fat32: fat32 was introduced by a window. Back in Windows 95. Fat32 stand for file allocation tabl32. Fat32 is mostly used on flash drives, external hard drives, etc.

 

Description

If your pen drive fails when you try to format through windows file explorer, there is one option. You can use the command prompt to format the pen drive. You can use the DISKPART tool to format the pen drive in the command prompt.

 

In this post, we will be using the DISKPART command line, now let’s get started

1.    type CMD on start

2.    run command prompt by right click and "Run as administrator"

In my case, I have a 14GB pen drive as shown below. In this article, I will delete the 14 GB size pen drive. I will format it in fs=fat32. So, let’s get started.
