Hi thanks for looking at this,I have a Kingston flash drive which is not very old and not that well used,when I plug it in windows says I need to format it,but when I try I get a msg that says The drive is in use by another process.I know I could just toss it,but I would like to know whats happend here and how to fix it.I have downloaded a lot of softwares in an attempt to fix it none of them worked though,any ideas would be welcome many thanks.
More about : flash drive format
if you have a windows xp - 7 - probably 8 install disk you can boot your computer to that and format the drive using the setup tool and after its formatted just restart your computer just make sure to not delete your windows install jump drive should be the smallest drive listed you can also use the disk management tool in control panel - administrative settings to see the partition info for the drive. Also Knoppix linux live cd will allow you to access the drive most likely.
