i have a 256g memory stick that windows cant format. it gets a quarter of the way through then stops saying it cant format it. it then disconnects from the computer. ive tried chip genius to find out info of the stick and get the following
vid = 048D
pid = 1234
vendor = general
name = udisk
revision = 0100
any help appreciated
Could you post a website showing your 256 GB flash stick?
Could you also post a picture like this with your flash stick plugged in?
This tutorial by Golden will show you how to post the picture.

Take a read here. If your flash drive is working properly these should work for a format.

"i have a 256g memory stick that windows cant format" This is a bland statement devoid of any crucial information.. Mention the make/manufacturer and model No. Should that be difficult?
When, from where and what price did you buy it?( Note: There are three-in-one for you to answer. :))
Does it have a manufacturer's warranty or you simply bought it since the large 256GB came at an unbelievably low price on the footpath? ( One or one. :))
All this info is necessary to know whether you had bought a fake drive.
You used Chip Genius. Did you see a line like the one in the screenshot below showing the vendor/ model number of the chip and it’s true capacity?
Or else, recheck your flash drive with any or all of these tools. https://www.raymond.cc/blog/test-and...-with-h2testw/
