Microsoft has refined the process of creating and setting up media for its operating system with Windows 11, building upon its previous efforts with Windows 10. As modern systems now utilize the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)—a successor to the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS)—tools like the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool are becoming outdated.

You will get an alert asking whether you would like to allow Rufus to check for updates online. Click “Yes” or "No" to proceed,
It's really up to you.

- Plug in the USB drive to instantly see it in the top drop-down menu in Rufus. Once you see the drive, click on the “Select” button.
- In the Browse window menu, locate the folder where you stored your ISO file. Select it and click on the “Open” button.
- In this case, as we wanted to create a Linux Mint bootable USB drive, we are selecting the ISO.
- The steps are the same for Windows 10/11.
Note: This tutorial assumes you already have the ISO file. If you don’t have the ISO file, you can download it from this site, there- are many, many to choose from. shared with us freely and created by some amazingly talented people, who I think of as my
- internet family.
- Also, make sure the USB drive you are using is at least 8GB and that it has no important data in it.
- Optional: click on the little “Check” icon next to the “Boot Selection” drop-down menu to compute and see the MD5, SHA1, and SHA256 checksums of the ISO file.
- This is used to verify whether the ISO file was tampered with previously.
- Wait a few seconds for the computation to be over.

? We show you how to fix it.
- If no red flags show up, it means the operating system/software edition is safe to use on your PC.
- Going back to the main process, select “MBR” from the “Partition scheme” drop-down menu and “BIOS or UEFI” from the “Target system” drop-down menu.
- If you are trying to use this bootable USB drive on an old system, select the “Add fixes for old BIOSes” checkbox under the “Advanced Drive Properties” section.
- Optional: change the USB drive name using the “Volume Label” field. Additionally, under “Advanced Format Options,” make sure the “Quick Format” checkbox is selected. As the name implies,
- Quick Format formats the drive quickly by skipping the check for bad sectors.
-
- Click on the “Start” button.
- Depending on the ISO file, Rufus may prompt you to download additional files. For instance, to create a bootable Linux Mint drive,
- Rufus prompts you to replace a file named “vesamenu.c32” as shown here. Click on the “Yes” button, and Rufus will take care of everything.
- In the next prompt, select the recommended “Write in ISO image mode” option and click on the “OK” button (if it shows on your screen.)
- As soon as you start the process of formatting, you will get a warning that all data on the device will be destroyed.
- It’s nothing to worry about, as you can recover the data later, so click “OK.”
- As soon as you click on the button, Rufus starts to create the bootable USB drive. Depending on your USB drive, it can take a few seconds or minutes to complete the creation process.
- Once done, you will not see a completion message but will hear a completion sound, and the progress bar will turn fully green.
- From the Windows 11 or Windows 10 File Explorer, verify whether a new bootable drive was created.
As you can see, it is pretty easy to create a bootable USB drive using Rufus. No matter how complicated the operating system/software edition is,
Rufus will convert it into a usable drive, provided the drive has enough space.
If you wish to reuse the USB drive again for data storage, follow the steps in this tutorial.
Do you have a flash drive you’re unable to use? If it’s stopped working for any reason, you will either find the memory used up,
even though there are no files inside, or Windows just won’t let you format the drive. In the worst case, the pen drive name refuses to show on your computer.
To fix an unformattable and unusable USB drive, use the native Windows method or one of the other external tools mentioned in this guide.
1. Wipe the USB Drive Clean with Diskpart Command Line Tool
Windows comes with a built-in format disk option to erase everything from a USB flash drive. This is accessible from a simple right-click, but at this stage, it probably won’t work.
If you no longer need the data in the removable media, Diskpart, a command-line tool, is a better way to help you get to the root of the problem.
To get started, run the Command Prompt as an administrator. Make sure the USB drive is inserted, and perform the following steps.
1. As soon as it starts, enter diskpart, then enter list disk, which will provide a list of each disk connected to your computer. Here, you can quickly identify your USB drive by its size.
2. Enter select disk #. Instead of #, you have to insert the numerical value of the removable drive, which is 1 in the image. You will see a success status message: “Disk # is now the selected disk.”
3. To wipe your removable media, enter clean. This will empty the contents of the USB drive completely.
Warning: do not accidentally select your computer’s hard drive number – in this case, it’s 0. It can erase your main hard disk completely, so proceed with caution.
Sometimes the disk for the USB may show “no media” and 0 bytes, which is normal. As long as “Disk 1” shows properly, there is a USB drive in the system.
Even after you wipe your USB drive clean, your computer will not be able to view it. The next step will correct this problem.

2. Reallocate the USB Drive Volume from Disk Management Console
We will reallocate the USB

from the previous section using the Disk Management Console, which is easily accessible from the search menu.Alternatively, press Win + R to open the Run command, and enter diskmgmt.msc.
Once the console window opens, right-click on the disk number for your USB drive with the “unallocated” status, and select New Simple Volume. In some Windows versions, it may be available as Create Simple Volume.
It will lead to a New Simple Volume Wizard pop-up window. Click Next to specify the volume size for the pen drive, or select the maximum volume, which is shown as a default unit in MB, then click Next.
Select Assign the following drive letter. We are choosing F, as shown here. Go to the Next screen.
Format the partition in the next step. This may be just an extra step, as you have already wiped the data clean. But it is always better to be sure.
Enter a name for the partition in the Volume label field. As with the previous approaches, choose a file system, allocation unit size and more. Then, go to the last screen and click Finish.
After you reallocate the unallocated USB drive space, you will be able to view the USB drive storage in Windows file explorer.
The USB drive is visible as a healthy partition when you open Disk Management again.
Third-Party Options
Listed here are some of the best third-party tools to fix and format USB drives that seem unformattable and unusable.

Low-level formatting means that the format will bypass the filesystem layer completely, eradicating all data on the drive and giving you a fresh start.
If your flash drive was rendered unformattable, due to bad sectors or dodgy files, this tool will have you covered.

Find Out Whether Your USB Drive Is Worth Saving
We have to be clear about the difference between an “unformattable, unusable” USB drive and a “corrupt/damaged” drive. When the stick is damaged beyond repair,
there’s no option but to replace it. On the other hand, if you were just unable to detect or use the removable media, then it can be repaired.
Let’s take the typical situation where your computer/laptop is able to easily detect the USB drive, and you just want to know whether it’s

.Open File Explorer, and find your drive under This PC on the left. Select the Properties of the USB drive folder, and check the Hardware status.
If it says, “This device is working properly,” the USB drive is worth saving.
You may also use chkdsk /*Drive Name*/: /f /x in Command Prompt or

to locate and solve any errors.It mainly comprises the drive letter of your USB after chkdsk entry, which you can find in File Explorer.
Accordingly, /f refers to any attempts to fix the errors on the USB drive, and /x will force the USB drive to be unmounted before attempting any scan.
As shown below, chkdsk shows there are no errors or bad sectors in the USB drive.
Once you restore your USB drive, you may need to create a

I'll try and post a tutorial on how to do this when I find one that's good and easy to follow

Well, that's all for now my Fam. I hope this will help someone.
