| | Hello bjproc. Have a look at the tutorial at the link below to see the "Clean All" option ... Be advised: make sure you do the right disk, clean all will over-write any drive it's pointed at and the data will not be re-coverable at all, period. Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command |

| | thanks for the reply, oops, it's a 128mb  unfortunately it didn't work, i maybe should've said it says CDFS as pic shows, it also doesn't show up in disc management in the HDD, but it shows as a CD drive |

| | CDFS format emulates a CD-ROM. You'll need to download and run the U3 removal Tool. http://u3uninstall.s3.amazonaws.com/U3Uninstall.exe Also, see this page. How to Remove a CDFS Format on a Jump Drive | eHow.com |

| | If the u3 cant remove it, you're probably out of luck. Its a stinking practise, this idea of pre-loading flash drives. In any case, try the following. Go to the command prompt and type >format <drive letter> /<fsfilesystem>. So, E.g., if your drive letter is g: then type: format g:/fsfat32 (Note there is a space between : and /). Hit Enter. If that doesnt help, see if you can rename the partition. |

| | No, no. Look at the pic you have attached. There is a space between / and fsfat32. Thats incorrect, the space has to be between : and /. Like this: format l: /fsfat32 Got it? |

| | I thought there has to a " = " in the command, an I wrong? Like this ... format l: /fs=fat32 |
