How to Format a Virus Affected USB Drive!

Earlier I had shared a complete post on formatting USB drive. There are several reasons for what you need to format your USB drives. Sometime it may happen that you are trying to format your USB drive, but you can't. The most common reason for what a USB drive can't be formatted is, if it is affected with virus. In this post I am gonna show how you can format your virus affected USB drive like Pen Drive and Flash Drive very easily.


Generally when you need to format an USB drive we open My Computer >> Right click on the Drive >> and Choose Format. But if your USB drive is affected with virus then this regular process of format will not work for this USB drive. In such case there is another option named Disk Management Tool to format virus affected USB drive. But make make sure that your computer is secured with a strong and reliable security software.

Note: Make sure that your USB drive (Pen Drive or Flash Drive) is connected to your PC.

Formatting USB Drive by Disk Management:

• First right click on My Computer from the desktop and select  Manage option.

• Then here in this window at the right panel click on Disk Management.

• Now the drive that you want to format, Right click on it and choose Format.

That's it. In this method you will definitely be able to format any kinds of USB drive.
