Flexim Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hello Everyone. So I downloaded the trial and currently trying to build an image. I run media wizard with Admin rights to start the process. When it get's to the point to format the flash drive it errors out and says it cannot format the flash drive. The flash drive is new and I can format using Windows format. I also tried a second flash drive and an external harddrive. Both had the same error. Any suggestions?

SmartDeploySupport Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hi Flexim, · Open a command prompt and perform the following commands: o Diskpart o List Disk (determine which disk is your USB stick, probably disk 1 if you only have 1 hard drive) o Select Disk 1 (use the correct disk number here) o Detail Disk (ensure you have your USB drive selected) o Clean (this destroys all data) o Create partition primary o Active o Format quick fs=fat32 o Assign letter e: (any drive letter that works is fine) o Exit Run Media Wizard again and let us know your results. If you still encounter issues, we can get a log and see what may be going on. Thanks, SmartDeploy Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fllorente Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hi Flexim, I'm currently using the open source tool Rufus to format the USB drives and it works like a charm. Just give it a try :-) Regards, -- Javier Llorente Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
