The other day I encountered a problem, I was using a program to write a WinXP image onto a flash drive and in the process the file system from the flash drive was lost. The flash drive no longer appears in Explorer. I connected it to another computer and had the same problem.
I started looking on the internet for how to restore the file system, since standard Windows tools don’t see anything at all and don’t want to do anything. UltraISO sees the flash drive, but does not format it.
In general, I also didn’t find any good advice on the Internet, so I resorted to a proven method, the Partition magic program. The program is good, but slightly dull, and also requires a reboot after installation, so I didn’t want to mess with it.
You won't be able to format it, you need to create a disk. Click create, select a file system and off you go. Everything would be fine, but I had another problem, I don’t remember verbatim, the essence of the problem was “it is not possible to perform this operation in 64bit Windows.” In general, as I said, the program is dull.
I couldn't delete the partitions using this program... I tried to delete it with Acronis, but it didn't even see the flash drive. And in general, most modern programs that work with the file system are incredibly buggy; errors and failures constantly occur during the process.
I had to resort to a completely old-fashioned proven method. Previously, when installing WinXP, a full-fledged function for deleting, creating and formatting partitions, up to full formatting, was built in. In modern Win, this function is plywood, it only pretends to do something, a kind of deception for the system so that it can start installing Windows. In fact, if you have a problem with the file system, then the built-in function of modern Win will not help at all. That’s why it’s useful to have Hriha as a friend once every hundred years.
In general, it was possible to delete the partitions, but it was not possible to create a disk, since the system is old and does not support working with removable media, which is what it reported when trying to create a partition.
I did the following, went back to Partition, clicked create disk and voila, no errors, the system worked like a glove. But since we work with Win, everything is never as simple as we would like.
In general, the flash drive began to be seen on other computers, but on the one on which the failure initially occurred it was still not seen by the system. In Device Manager there is an exclamation point " WPD file system", the problem is clearly with the driver.
Solution: Click on "Start", then right-click on "My Computer", then "Properties" and open "Device Manager". Right-click on the device with an exclamation mark, the name of which contains “WPD”, then “disable”. (a note about WPD is in case you have some other faulty devices that do not need to be disabled)
Click on "Start", then right-click on "My Computer", then "Manage".
As you can see in the photo, the flash drive began to appear in the subsystem, but without a name.
Do the following, right-click on the flash drive and select "Change drive letter..."
Click add, select the drive letter you like and click OK (or apply, I don’t remember)
That's all, after a lot of suffering, the flash drive is back in action!
By the way, I would like to note that after all these intricate manipulations, the program for writing WinXP to a flash drive worked as it should and the image was successfully transferred to the flash drive. UltraISO does not correctly transfer XP to a flash drive, unlike the Seven. Therefore, I used the WinSetupFromUSB1.6 software. You can easily find instructions for use on the Internet.
