Can't format USB 3.0 drive

The command diskpart enter the disk partition tool (as you did)
Then you must enter the others commands.

Diskpart.exe (to enter diskpart)
list disk (to list the computers disks,. Take not witch number corresponds to your USB disk)
select disk n (where n is the number of USB disk. Make sure to type correct disk number from step two.)
clean (to erase all partitions on the selected disk)
create partition primary (to create one partition on the selected disk)
select partition 1
format fs=fat32
assign letter=H
exit.

I understood your previous post, but I do not know how to list computer disk in CMD promt, particularly not how to select disk since there is not any listed. When I enter "I", which is the USB disk number, I got this:

After entering Diskpart you give the others commands

Diskpart.exe (to enter diskpart)
list disk (to list the computers disks. Take not witch number corresponds to your USB disk)
select disk n (where n is the number of USB disk. Make sure to type correct disk number from step two.)
clean (to erase all partitions on the selected disk)

select partition 1
format fs=fat32
assign letter=H

After I selected the disk 4 (the usb drive) I got this list and then there is DISKPART> listed again. As though I haven't already selected the disk 4, which I did.

I do not know (I already wrote that I do not know) how to perform "clean" or "format" operation with CMD. There is no such command and I do not wish to risk doing something irreparable on system disk or other disks which are good.

Never mind. Thank you for your assistance. There is no need to copypaste this chain of instructions again :) Have a nice day.

Everything Megahertz07 did NOT put in parenthesis is part of the commands. Has to be entered such as 'select disk 4' not just the numeral 4.

VG, thank you for your advice. For some reason, Rufus freezes at this point (or it doesn't go any further). Maybe I should wait some more, but for the last 20 minutes this is what I got.

I tried everything, but to no avail. I'll buy a new one.



Thank you all for your time and willing to help.
