Right now, I am still trying this and so far, this method has solved most of my formatting and flash drive usage problems.

#8 - Lay back because it could take a while depending on how much storage your drive has. Right-click anywhere within the black bar, click New Volume, and follow the instructions that gives you. #7 - In Disk Management, your flash drive should appear in a complete black bar and all "EFI System Partitions" should be wiped out after you just got through using DISKPART. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE USE HOME PREMIUM/BASIC! Press Enter to run this command and make sure you are logged into Windows as Administrator while using Enterprise, Business, or Ultimate packages. #6 - Close both the CMD and the Format Disk windows, hold down "Windows Key + R" to bring up a short Run window, and enter "diskmgmt.msc". See the System Event Log for more information.Īnd so, you get an "access denied" error and another window should pop up saying that the drive needs to be formatted.

My hard disk was 0 and my USB drive was 1. Since I only had a hard drive and one 16GB flash image, that gave me the idea as to which disk I will take into consideration. #3 - Type "list disk", press Enter - and it will tell you which drives are which, including USB flash drives. #1 - On windows, open Command Prompt (cmd). Now I can't use it in Windows XP/Vista/7/8 because not only it did not appear in Computer, but it also contains a senseless 200 MB partition. Okay, earlier, I was not so pleased with formatting a USB flash drive in an attempt to get an OSX installation going, I should've restored with a DVD image and that was when I screwed up.
