Cannot convert flash drive to NTFS

OK, now repeat the Low Level format, but now check Perform quick wipe (just remove partitions and MBR) and then Format this device. This will just take a second to undo whatever has been done by Windows Disk Management.

Then format to FAT32 with the HP Tool. If it goes through we will know that your pen drive is good.

After ascertaining this, format it with the same HP Tool to NTFS.( In both cases quick format will do as your first sector will be clean)

I shall wait for your reply before going to bed.

EDIT: You can try VistaKing's suggestion too. your choice.:)

Try using Diskpart.

Click on the button type CMD inside the Search programs and features. Right click on CMD under neath Programs (1) choose Run as administrator. On the User Access Control window click on the Yes button. Command Prompt opens to path C:\Windows\System32>_

Type the commands below . Press <ENTER> after every command inputted.

Code:

DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK #
CLEAN
CREATE PRIMARY PARTITION
FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK
EXIT
EXIT

   Note

The # is the USB flash drive number. Usually it is Disk 1 when you have only 1 hard drive installed. Disk 0 is your internal Hard drive

So, what will be my # ?

What to do now ?

Yep, you can have a look at this tutorial on diskpart Clean, Clean all Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command

List Disk will show you all the disks, and you should select the number that shows your pen drive capacity.

Essentially, the next clean command does the same thing, as what the LLF Tool will do when you select "Perform quick wipe (just remove partitions and MBR)"

The command is

Code:

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK

   Note

If you don't add the " Quick " command formatting the drive will take a while

After create primary partition, I get three options.
And format fs=ntfs quick, results in "There is no volume selected".
