Hello

I tryed to format my usb pen drive, but it shows that windows cannot format it....
also, it is a 32GB pen, but it shows only 64mb now.

I even tryed this process:
in cmd
>diskpart
>disk list
>select disk 1
>clean
>create partition primary
but it shows this error:

"No usable free extent could be found. It may be that there is insufficient
free space to create a partition at the specified size and offset. Specify
different size and offset values or don't specify either to create the
maximum sized partition. It may be that the disk is partitioned using the MBR disk
partitioning format and the disk contains either 4 primary partitions, (no
more partitions may be created), or 3 primary partitions and one extended
partition, (only logical drives may be created)."

What can I do now?

1) In the format window click "restore defaults" and then format.
2) Try formatting in safe mode.

Thank you, it worked by formating in safe mode and doing that cmd process. :)
