When done working through the wizard, click Finish and wait a few moments.
It’s a transparent process, and you can keep the default settings, but when you get to the screen shown below, you might want to give the drive a particular name. The New Simple Volume Wizard will start – just work your way through it following the on-screen instructions. Right-click on it and select New Simple Volume. From the right pane go to Storage > Disk Management and in the center section find your flash drive (you should be able to find it by its size – and the fact Windows recognizes it as Unallocated space.) That opens up the built-in Computer Management utility. To fix the drive right-click This PC in Windows 8.x or 10, or the Computer icon in Windows 7 and select Manage. When you see that the drive is not recognized, and you try to format it, I got the “Windows was unable to complete the format” error. Windows was unable to complete the format
If you have a drive that does have data, you’ll want to try a different troubleshooting method as this will wipe any data from it. Note: In this scenario, I am using a drive that has no data on it. After that, no matter what version of Windows I tried to use the drive on, I kept getting these errors indicating the drive wasn’t getting recognized. The other day I was trying to install Windows 8.1 with Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool, and the install failed on my new 64GB flash drive.
