mnewman Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 I've reformatted my USB drive in every format, I've partitioned it to various sizes and the media wizard still hangs on which media type to use when creating a deployment package. The Media Wizard stalls with a message of " Checking removable drive properties, please wait ...." anyone experienced this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartDeploySupport Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Try formatting the USB via via diskpart. Open an administrative command prompt and type the following: diskpartlist disk [determine which disk is your external USB stick, probably disk 1]select disk 1 [use the correct disk number here]detail disk [read the disk info; make sure you have your USB stick selected]clean [this destroys all data and partition/volume info on the selected disk]create partition primaryactiveformat quick fs=ntfs [Media Wizard will convert this to FAT32 later]assignexit Then relaunch the Media Wizard and attempt to create new media. If you still have issues send your C:\SmartDeploy\Logs\Media.log from the SmartDeploy host. You can submit a ticket here. Please refer to this thread.

mnewman Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 how is this different from using the DISK MANAGEMENT ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartDeploySupport Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 It may provide a different error/code that may be helpful to see what may be going on. Does this happen on all USBs? We would really need to see the media.log in order to see what is happening. Thanks, Devon SmartDeploy Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnewman Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 I only have 1 usb drive . not sure if this would happen on other usb drives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnewman Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 This appears to have worked. I came back with an error the first time, asked if I wanted to run again, then proceeded to write the media successfully. Thanks Admin ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
