How do you reset a USB flash drive back to factory settings?
Hi All,
Ive a couple of USB flash drives that I'd like to wipe clean and factory set them back to the way they were when I bought them. What is the correct way to do it with Diskpart? I know you can format the drive but I want to set everything up..partitions etc back to the way they were.
I have some instructions I use when using Diskpart to create a bootable USB flash drive to install Windows 10. Are they the same for factory resetting a USB flash drive?
diskpart
list disk
select disk #
clean
create partition primary
format fs=fat32 quick
active
exit
There is another command-Assign that I know can be added after Active. How exactly does that work? I want my flash drives to dynamically assign drive letters each time they're inserted-I don't want a fixed drive letter. Will the assign command set the drive letter as dynamic? Or does Assign set the drive letter to the next available letter and Fix it on whatever drive letter that is? In my case C: is system drive and D: is DVDRW drive. I want it to be dynamically using E: but not fixed on it ..if you understand what I mean
Ive looked under detail volume for the flash drives and there's a No Default Drive Letter option but I'm not sure really what that means. Obviously it looks like it has Yes/No choice. Can anybody enlighten me a bit on what that means?
