'Windows was unable to complete the format' - Help

trskerritt · Jan 28, 2014

I have Bitlocker protected USB Flash Drive that I cannot format. First some files became corrupt and the names became changed to random symbols (See picture). I can't delete and change the drive letter and I have tried formatting it with CHKDSK and once again nothing. I can't remove the Bitlocker encryption as I don't have the right version of Windows (I'm using Windows 7 Professional). Help.

Well, you probably need to do it on a PC with the right OS version. Enterprise or Ultimate. Win 7 Pro does not support BitLocker.

Beyond that, we can't help in here. Password circumvention is against the Forum rules.

Do you have any idea about the files and folders problem that I have mentioned?

I also forgot to mention that for some reason it is now write protected that seems to prevent me from removing the encryption when I had the chance earlier on today.

No, I don't.
See what it looks like on an OS that can decrypt it properly. If it is still messed up, then it is probably a virus.
