If the flash drive cannot be formatted and there are no protective jumpers on it (such as against deletion), then most likely the flash drive is physically damaged - and then the way out is to buy a new one, they cost a penny. For already, I don’t think anything will help her, such as scandiscs (error correction), etc., the only thing is if the firm on the flash drive is loud, then try formatting it with native software for it, if of course there is one.
The driver can be deleted on usb.
The computer cannot find it and asks for a driver disk or download from the selected folder. Probably this.
It was like that, only formatting the card helped =(
another option, there is a little thing on the card that moves ... such a small plug ... maybe it's in it)
It is better to destroy the compromised system (format the disk) and reinstall everything from scratch.
There is not the slightest guarantee that everything is really cleared.
Think about what safety standards you neglected, since a viral infection happened.
In such cases, the Administrator is always and 100% to blame.
If it contains the necessary information - don't try to format it !!!
Apparently, the FAT (files allocation table) - the file allocation table has fallen off. Or information about sections.
Try reanimating it as an entire disk first, using programs such as Norton Disk Doctor Active Partition Recovery
If you can’t completely reanimate it, then pull out the necessary data from it using programs such as R-Studio, GetDataBack
I have deviated a little from the original topic, namely, data recovery in the event of a file system failure. This case refers to "logical data recovery" and is applicable in such cases as data deletion (erroneous and intentional) and drive formatting (with and without data overwriting).
Steps to recover files from a failed flash drive:
1) Connected the drive to the USB connector of the PC;
2) Launched the software of the PC 3000 Flash complex and created a new task by selecting the required drive from the list of connected drives;
3) Created a full image (not compressed) of the drive, so that all further work was carried out not with a live drive, but with its sector-by-sector copy, which is a more reliable way, because with prolonged use of a physical flash drive, it may fail or some other opportunity;
4) After the disk image is created, the task in which the image was created is closed, the failed flash drive is correctly disconnected and removed from the PC;
5) The complex creates new task, but the image of our flash drive, which was created in the previous paragraph, is indicated as the drive;
6) To assess the state of the file system, the "Disk Analysis" method is launched, after which all file systems and metadata are searched.
AT this case analysis showed that it is not possible to restore the files as they are while preserving the entire structure and hierarchy, since there is no way to collect file system. It does not matter, because the data in this case is also subject to recovery, with one exception - it will already be a "draft data recovery method" - files are restored not by folder structure, but by file type. For example: all *.jpg files will be in the same folder, text with text, and so on, which will be much better than not restoring data to the client at all. Considering that the client mainly needed photos from this flash drive, this was not critical for him.
In such cases, as described here, it is very difficult to restore data on your own and you can only make it worse. That is why we recommend contacting specialists, since it is better to entrust data recovery after formatting to experts in their field.
If we talk about the big picture, then in the event of the error "Before using the disk in the F: * drive, it must be formatted", the data can be successfully recovered using professional tools and knowledge of the matter. That's all for me, and a little later I will make a short video on the topic of logical recovery and the draft method in general.

Question: Error 0x0000007B after repartitioning hard drive
Hello, I am getting error 0x0000007B while booting up my computer. After what did she appear? My hard drive was divided into two partitions - C: and D:. On C: Windows 7 is installed, on D: a lot of memory is occupied, although I measured the files, and their volume took up much less than what is written in the properties. More than 100 GB was taken to nowhere. I decided to create a new partition, move everything I need there, and format it. When the volume was compressed, 60 GB was freed, I created a new volume and moved part of it there desired files. The volume was not compressed anymore, he said that 0 MB was free for compression, although it was also free, like about 100 GB. I read that Acronis can handle all problems Disk Director. Installed, began to free up space, he asked to restart the computer, nothing changed after the reboot. I installed Paragon Partition Manager, there was some kind of error, and I downloaded another version, installed it, remembered that the old one needed to be deleted. I started deleting, I thought I was deleting new version, and canceled the deletion, after which everything became dull, the programs began to disappear, there was a black screen, and then an error came out. Now, when the system is restarted, it always appears. Startup restore doesn't help. Restoring from a restore point gives an error, the last system configuration does not help either. Even when I choose recovery, when choosing operating system it loads, and then asks to select an operating system, although there is none in the table.
Will it be possible to restore the system startup without deleting the necessary files? If not, then I can still delete it, it is on another computer, it just takes a very long time to transfer, and I'm not sure that everything is there.
Sorry for the quality of the photos, they were not made for the topic, I'm sitting now with Dr. Web Live USB.
If necessary, I will post the AIDA64 report, but I need to reboot.
Thanks in advance!

"I booted from a flash drive, on it Windows PE, opened iso Windows file, which was on another flash drive, clicked on setup.exe, selected complete installation, after which an error began to appear when booting from the hard disk"
Why so then? Are there normal standard ways: from DVD, internet or bootable flash drive, but not so.
When installing and formatting as needed.
According to your SMART, I glanced briefly: there are errors, it seems uncritically, then I'll review it.
If you perform all the actions in this way - incorrectly, in your own way, then the problems will not disappear. Maybe you have someone to help, who fumbles in computers?
What error is coming out now, this one? If different, show.
Question: Disappearing discs
There is an old server on Windows 2003, three mirrored RAID arrays are built on it (there are three logical disks in the system).
A week ago, one logical drive disappeared from the system. After a reboot it came back. In the system logs for this day and the previous one, there were a lot of warnings from dmio that it was not possible to write to disk. Periodically, a message appeared that the disk was suddenly ejected.
The next day, the disk was in the system, but disappeared after a reboot. Subsequent reboots did not lead to anything - the disk did not appear.
The next day he reappeared. Disk Manager showed the status "Healthy (at risk)" (in previous days, Disk Manager did not start). Moreover, surprisingly, both physical disks were shown for this array, and the remaining two arrays were shown as ordinary physical disks (one array - one disk). For the problematic array, the dispatcher showed the type " Mirror volume", and the rest have "Main section".
After executing in the reactivation manager, synchronization started and the volume went into the "Healthy" state. The next day, the volume disappeared again.
The disk configuration is very tricky. The motherboard has a built-in RAID controller. It hangs two Seagates of 80 gigabytes. The system is on these disks.
An external 4-port Silicon 24XX RAID controller is plugged into the PCI slot (I don't remember the last two digits now). It hangs two WD 500 gig.
AT PCI slot Express plugged in a 2-port RAID controller Silicon 3132 and it has two Seagates of 320 gigabytes each.
Information about why everything works in this particular configuration has been lost over the years
Strangeness number one - this 3132 is not visible anywhere at boot and there are no invitations to enter its BIOS. Therefore, it works, in fact, like a regular SATA controller, and its RAID array organized Windows tools. If you go into the BIOS of the motherboard and select the boot priority, then there will be four elements: built-in RAID, Sil24XX and two separate disks hanging on Sil3132.
Further, when the volume was gone, an attempt was made to transfer the disks from the two-port silicone to the 4-port. They didn’t appear in the disk manager and AIDA didn’t see them either (I didn’t figure out how to enter the controller BIOS). After that, the disks were rearranged back.
The disks appeared in the system when I reconnected the IDE-SATA power adapter to the other tail. Thinking that the BP was to blame for everything, I left the server to watch for another day
We will call this configuration "control"
Today, one of the drives began to make whistling sounds (like something clinging to the cooler). The intensity of the sounds was about once every 5 seconds. Sometimes stopping. At the same time, no manipulations were performed on accessing the disks. The server stood with the loaded OS. The system began to freeze, and then said that the disk was unexpectedly disconnected. In the process of searching for the source by sequentially disconnecting the disks, it was found that this is one of the disks in the problem array. But while they were looking for, the second disk from this array ceased to be detected.
The second disk appeared when not the last connector of the adapter was connected to it, but the first one.
After looking at all this, I again restored the control configuration. Everything started working again and without additional sounds.
Well, now the question is: who is to blame and how to diagnose all this?
I have three candidates:
1) RAID controller. But then why didn't the disks appear when they were reconnected to another controller?
2) Disks. But then why both disks disappear synchronously? It is hard to believe in the same malfunction of two disks
3) BP. Basically, it should be enough. It is 420 watts. From the consumption of 2 xeons of 110 watts, 6 disks with a total peak consumption of 55 watts and two RAID controllers. And if the problems are in the PSU, then why do these two disks fall off and always in pairs?
Yes, I already read today that Silicon and Seagate are not friends, but it has worked for years.
In general, I will be grateful for any ideas on diagnostics.
Sincerely, Vasilisk
Answer: Forgot to write. The problem was fixed by replacing the PSU.
Question: Transferring information to another disk.
I took an unnecessary 100 Gig disk from a friend and thought to find a use for it. Since the disk capacity is small, I decided to use it either for a second RAM or ... in short, I thought whether it was possible to free disk C (thus increasing disk D), and all the information transfer to a separate disk. Hence the question arose whether it is possible to do this and how to implement it.
Answer: Mavrikii
Of course, these are the right questions. Once a free disk has appeared, I want to find a use for it.
And of course thanks for the advice.
Question: Lost HDD
Problems started after reinstalling windows 7, before that hard disks worked fine. I didn’t change any settings, I didn’t tinker with the hardware. After reinstalling Windows, a local drive E appeared (before that there were only C and D) and some information from drive D was copied to it. Windows became on drive C, as planned. While working at the computer, he began to freeze and issue a disk error on a black screen. It didn't show up in the bios. Turning the computer off and on helped. And all these dances were repeated for a month. Then I deleted Windows, formatted C drive and now I can’t install the operating system because the hard drive disappears before it is installed.
P.S. The computer has 2 hard drives.

The hard drive W.Digital320 is divided into 2 sections: the main C: 50GB and the logical D: 260GB ... and so the D drive has flown!

Question: Incomprehensible slowdowns of the system, Acer laptop e5-573g
Notebook acer e5-573g
Pentium 3556
8gb ram
The system is on ssd intel 530 120gb. The proprietary Intel SSD toolbox utility says that the disk is in perfect order.
Instead of a drive, there is an SSHD ST500LM000 500Gb
Windows 10 Enterprise
Drivers are all updated to the latest versions.
Problem:
When opening my computer, there was a delay in displaying content (about 3 seconds)
Initially, this laptop had an ordinary hard drive (not even sshd) for 1TB. After the purchase, it was immediately replaced with an ssd. The terrabyte got into the slot for the drive. There were the wildest brakes when opening my computer (about 7-10 seconds), when opening drive D. Chrome started up 10-12 seconds. The whole system was lagging. After replacing it with 500 GB, sshd got better, but still worse than on the previous laptop (in which both ssd and ssd were installed earlier)
Help me understand what the problem is.
Either in the top ten (in the previous laptop there was a seven), or in the disks, or in the integrated video card (which works when games are not running), or in the fact that the processor does not take out multitasking.
Putting seven is not an option. bad people from Acer decided to release drivers only for Win 8 and Win 10. And on the seven without drivers it is even worse than on the ten (tried).
Linux is also a so-so option. there is special software that is available only on Mac and Windows, but you don’t want to bother with emulators.
The previous laptop on the desktop worked perfectly, but it’s just morally very outdated, it weighs a lot, with a dead battery, and it lost its presentable appearance over the years of operation.

Question: I bought a used netbook, everything suits me in it, but it growls a little, such incomprehensible sounds
Good time of the day!
I'm far from a pro in hardware, so I ask for HEEELP.
I bought a used netbook, everything suits me in it, but it growls a little, such incomprehensible sounds. My old Hewlet is 17 inches and it will be quieter.
the seller says that there may be problems with the cooler. but I read your topic and think "Maybe a hard drive"?
downloaded the program and tested it. Tell me from the pictures from the attachments (I thought I’ll grow old until I find how to load them)), what’s with the disk?
Answer: Hey,
In principle, tapping and all sorts of clicks does not mean anything good. If the cause is in the hard drive, then this leads to serious damage to the drive. But I see that the program did not give any errors. If you are 100% sure that the hard drive is tapping, then in this case, I would advise you to still try to test it again only with the help of a utility from the manufacturer. And just in case if there is important information on a disk, transfer it to another medium. Also make sure that the laptop cooling system is in good condition, try to remove dust from the processor and video card heatsinks. And even better - just turn to specialists, they will quickly find exactly where the problem is and what needs to be done. I hope this was helpful, Citizen_WD
Question: C hard drive is it a problem?
Good night all.
Help me understand what is my problem. I apologize at once that I will write a lot, but the problem worries me greatly.
The situation is this. I reinstalled Windows and at first everything was fine. But then the first freezes appeared. Then I decided to go to the Task Manager and see what the problem is. The hard disk was loaded at 100%, but besides this, the "Average response time" of the disk was either 30-50 ms, then suddenly from 2 to 20 thousand ms at once.
Then I decided that the disc is over. But I checked it with a couple of programs, and everywhere SMART was in order. Decided to connect another drive. But the same problem appeared there.
Then I decided to try the last option. I took an almost brand new hard drive from a laptop. I measured the response time in advance, which did not rise more than 30-40 ms. But there was a problem with the computer as well.
So besides, after returning it to the laptop, it began to load much longer, and the response often became 50 ms, and sometimes 200 ms.
There were also side effects.
Initially, I connected the drives with the computer turned off, but did not unplug the power cord and turn off the PSU with the button on it. And the first time you connect any hard drive, the computer just cut down on loading the Windows logo. But with subsequent downloads of Windows, there was no such problem.
Then I thought, maybe it's worth completely disconnecting the power supply from the power supply. I turned it off with the button on it. Next, I pressed the POWER button to get rid of the remaining electricity in the computer. And then I inserted the SATA cable. But then I went nuts, the computer simply refused to turn on, no matter how I pressed the power button. At the same time, if you leave it for a few minutes after such a disk connection, then it turns on successfully and there are no problems with further launches.
However, when changing SATA connector The problem with the first inclusion remains. So the problem with the response time also worries. Increasingly, a response time of 20 thousand ms begins to appear, and once it was 70 thousand ml.
Just in case, I write:
1) The power supply, at 650W, was checked with a multimeter (though without an additional load in the form of a cooler or, as they say on the Internet, 5W bulbs), all voltages are normal.
2) Tried to change RAM, the problem does not go away.
3) I found my old PSU (at 450W), fully functional, but replaced with a more powerful one. There is such a situation: the problem with the inability to turn on the computer after a blackout disappeared, but after the first connection, the hard drive is still cut off and the system still hangs, the response time is still very long.
4)Only when turning on Windows everything hangs, the response is great. When the computer is idle, the response is small (sometimes it happens, 0ms and the read / write speed is 0Kb / s). But when you start a serious program or game, everything can hang altogether.
5) I read that it can hang because of the video card, I tried my old video card, the problem did not disappear.
And one more small question: I have such a case that it is very difficult to pull out the video card. Somewhere in the grooves gets stuck. You have to unscrew the motherboard. And after that, press on the back of the video card, where all the connectors are. Sometimes you have to hit the palm of your hand several times back and only then does it come out. Can this method harm her? Checked her OCCT, everything is in order and the temperature is normal. So she's all right? And what's the best way to get it out?
Answer: Good night. Finally connected the drive, as you advised.
The situation turned out like this: the first disk with the system refused to work, when I pulled it out there was a big crack coming from a hole in the center (When I inserted it, it wasn’t there. Although I might not have noticed some small crack). But just in case, the disk is already old, I tried to install the system from another disk. From there, the installation booted successfully. True, I only got to the disk formatting window.
Does this mean that everything is in order with the motherboard?
The drive was really noisy, but maybe it's because I've already lost the habit of it.
If it's not the motherboard, then I don't know what the problem is.
And still don’t tell me: if it’s the motherboard, then when I change it, will it be possible to connect the old hard drives, or can they only ruin the new motherboard?
For normal operation hard drive, it is necessary that it has a partition table (sometimes called partition, although strictly speaking partition- these are disk partitions directly). In its absence, the operating system does not have access to the hard drive ("does not see" the hard drive). The partition table contains information about physical characteristics disk: the number of sides, the number of tracks and sectors per track, as well as information about partitions and logical drives.
Disk partitions
When working in MS-DOS system each hard drive can have the following partitions:
- Primary DOS partition: Required. This section forms the only system logical drive (usually named C:)
- Extended DOS Partition: Only present when the hard drive has two or more logical drives.
- Non-DOS partition: Formed if you are running two or more operating systems. This partition is shared with other operating systems and is invisible to MS-DOS.
FDISK command
To execute this command, you must have a boot floppy made in Windows 98SE, preferably in Russian. Although an external command is supplied with the operating system FDISK but in English.
After booting the computer from the floppy disk, enter the command
The main menu will appear on the screen:
FDISK Options
( FDISK Options)
Current fixed disk drive: 1
(Current hard disk drive: 1)
Choose one of the following:
( Choose one of the options :)
1.Create DOS partition or Logical DOS Drive
( 1. Create a DOS partition or DOS logical drive.)
2.Set active partition
( 2. Set active partition.)
3.Delete partition or Logical DOS Drive
( 3. Delete partition or DOS logical drive.)
4.Display partition information
( 4. View partition information.)
5.Change current fixed disk drive
(5. Change the current hard disk drive.)
Enter choice:
(Enter your choice:)
Press Esc to exit FDISK
(Press Esc to exit)
Note: If only one hard drive is installed in the computer, then option 5 is not issued.
Partitioning a hard drive
To partition a hard drive, do the following:
- Make reconfigurable drive active (if needed)
- Delete all existing partitions on the hard drive.
- Create new sections you need.
- If necessary, create logical drives.
- If necessary, assign an active partition (boot will be performed from it)
- Format the resulting logical drives.
Deleting existing partitions
If your disk has already been configured, you will need to delete the previous partition first. To do this, select item 3 of the main menu. The screen will display:
Delete DOS Partition or Logical DOS Drive
(Remove DOS partitions or logical drives)
Current fixed disk drive: 1
(Current drive: 1)
Choose one of the following:
(Choose one of the options:)
1. Delete Primary DOS Partition
(1. Remove primary DOS partition)
2. Delete Extended DOS Partition
(2. Remove extended DOS partition)
3. Delete Logical DOS Drive(s) in the Extended DOS
(3. Remove logical drives from extended DOS partition)
4. Delete Non-DOS Partition
(4. Remove non-DOS partition)
The order of your actions:
- Delete the non-DOS partition (if it exists)
- Remove the logical drives from the extended DOS partition (if that partition exists), and you will need to confirm your intentions several times and enter the drive label when deleting.
- Delete the extended DOS partition itself (if you had one), and when you delete it, you will need to confirm your intentions several times.
- Delete the primary DOS partition, and when you delete it, you will need to confirm your intentions several times and enter a disk label.
Now the previous partition has been removed and you can create a new one.
Creating a new split
After deleting the previous partition, you need to create a new one. To do this, select option 1 from the main menu.
Create DOS partition or Logical DOS Drive
(Create DOS partitions or logical drives)
Current fixed disk drive: 1
(Current drive: 1)
Choose one of the following:
(Choose one of the options:)
1. Create Primary DOS Partition
(1. Create a primary DOS partition)
2. Create Extended DOS Partition
(2. Create extended DOS partition)
3. Create Logical DOS Drive(s) in Extended DOS Partition
(3. Create logical drives in extended DOS partition)
First you need to create a primary DOS partition. Select option 1. You will be asked a question:
Do you wish to use the maximum available size for a Primary DOS Partition and make the partition active
(Y/N.............?
(Do you want to use all disk space for the primary DOS partition and make this partition active?)
If you answer yes, then one logical disk will be created on your entire hard drive, from which the operating system will be loaded.
In this case splitting hard disk is finished. If you want to split your hard drive into several logical ones, then you must answer in the negative. The following prompt will be displayed on the screen:
Enter partition size in Mbytes or percent of disk space (%) to create a Primary DOS Partition.............:
(Enter the size of the primary DOS partition in MB or as a percentage of disk space.)
After you create the primary partition, you will need to create an extended DOS partition.( Create Extended DOS Partition)
A message will appear on the screen:
Enter partition size in Mbytes or percent of disk space (%) to create an Extended DOS Partition..........:
(Enter the size of the extended DOS partition in MB or as a percentage of disk space.)
If you don't need to leave room for a non-MS-DOS operating system, then you must specify all the free space on the disk, which is the default.
After you have created an extended DOS partition, you need to partition it into logical drives.( Create Logical DOS Drive(s) in Extended DOS Partition)
Enter Logical drive size in Mbytes or percent of disk space (%)....
(Enter the size of the logical drive in MB or percentage of disk space.)
If you want to create two logical ones (one is the primary DOS partition, the other is the full size of the extended DOS partition), then you need to accept the default maximum size. Otherwise, enter your size and repeat this operation for the next logical drive.
After partitioning the hard drive into partitions and logical drives, you need to install an active partition (it will be the computer that will boot from it).
Setting the Active Partition
To boot from a hard drive, the primary DOS partition must be active. Select option 2 from the main menu and enter the partition number to boot from:
Enter the number of the partition you want to make active......:
(Enter the partition number you want to make active)
When partitioning information is displayed, the active partition is marked with the letter A.
After completing these steps, hard disk partitioning is complete. It remains only to format the resulting logical drives.
Note: If none of the partitions is made active, then it is impossible to boot from the hard drive. In this case, no messages are displayed.
Formatting a hard drive
Formatting a hard drive has some peculiarities. First, the C: drive must be made the system drive.
Secondly, you will have to format the hard drive after booting from a floppy disk. After booting from the floppy, enter the command:
A warning will be displayed on the screen that you are formatting the hard drive:
Warning: all data on non-removable disk
Drive D: will be lost!
Follow-up question will be asked:
With your positive answer, the hard drive will be formatted and the operating system will be transferred to it.
After that, you can boot from the hard drive, transfer the files you need (operating system) to it, and, if necessary, format the rest of the logical drives (the S parameter, of course, no longer needs to be set). The process of reconfiguring the hard drive is completely finished.
