Remove UBCD2USB
Ok, I used the CMD line to create my UBCD2USB drive. Now I want to remove this and I get a write protect error. This drive does not have a switch to make it write protect. Windows cannot do anything with it and I have tried killdisk with no luck.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance
In windows, press windows key + R . In the run dialog box, type "diskmgmt.msc" Select the partition you want to delete and delete it (right click works easiest). Then right click the unallocated space and select new simple disk, follow the steps to format. Make sure you select the right disk, and you will lose any information that you delete and format.
If this does not work, and your usb drive is old or has been used for a while, may be corrupted and you may have to get a new one, as this is one of the symptoms of a faulty usb flash drive.

I have tried the windows disk manager the right click delete partition is not available and the format fails disk is write protected.
Also tried Windows Diskpart select volume then delete volume gets an error the volume you have selected is not valid.
the flash drive was a 2GB from Microsoft I have only used it twice before and now it seems stuck. If I open it I might get lucky and find an ID to trace it back to a manufacturer.

Before you take it apart, you can try using USBDeview from nirsoft to get the info. Even if it doesn't list the manufacturer you may get a Vendor ID that you can Google.

In windows, goto my computer or computer in vista/7. Put the drive in the computer and wait for it to show up on the drive list, when it does, right click on it, select properties. Under the Tools tab, select error checking box "check now" and select all check boxes that are shown.john101 wrote:Tried Chkdsk /r tried the HP tool it said no device found.
Let me try the tool to list the id of this drive and see if I get anywhere.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

If your drive does not show up when connected, then your drive it dead, and if you have only used it 2 times you need to get a replacement from where ever you received the product.
Please note, that the sooner you wait to return it the more likely they will refuse refunding you.

I guess low level formating would work, curious to know if it worked for you. Good luck.john101 wrote:getting the AlcorTools and lets see if this will help me fix this drive.

I opened the flash up, the main memory chip had a sticker on it in japanese or something with some initials. I scraped that off and under was no name a small gold circle and some numbers on it (H6IAG080J below 0932).
The other side has a small chip usb controller I guess FC8308 A136479-1F 0936H6.
So over all I dont think loading the UDCB usb had anything to do with the demise of the drive just happened to be around the same time.
Thanks again for all the help.
