USB bricked

Hello,
do you have any recommended actions for a Kingston USB drive that the only thing that it does is say "you have to format the drive" but nothing works?

Any program?
Thanks!

Hi svlassis
Please try this:
Open Elevated Command Prompt as Admin

Then type
diskpart
list disk
select disk x (where x is the number of your non-working drive – use the capacity to work out which one it is)
attributes disk clear readonly
clean
create partition primary
format fs=fat32
exit

I've tried it.
I've tried everything I found.
But maybe there is a software out there that can do something more. I don't care about the contents, I just want to be able to use the USB!

Please try download Rufus

Yes try format with Rufus, if that doesn't work, look at this:
Fix 'You Need to Format the Disk in Drive' Error

Perfect thanks!!

Good luck.

I'm new and trying to post a new thread or post but can't find any way of doing it.

I've had that problem in the past never came right although I never tried Rufus out yet.
