Good 24-hour interval, Bleeping Computer forums!
I bought a 64 GB flash drive from Singapore a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to convert it into NTFS, and so I tried formatting it, simply Windows kept on saying that it couldn't format it. In response, I hit up CMD and removed the current partition of the bulldoze so I could make a new 1 in NTFS format, but that failed equally well. At this phase, the bulldoze was unrecognizable. Its storage capacity was even listed as "unknown." Thinking I still could gear up things, I downloaded a third-party sectionalisation software (I forgot its name) and attempted to create a new sectionalization for the bulldoze. The software said the process succeeded, but when I checked, Windows withal said, "You lot have to format this drive before you can apply it." I tried doing that, but the format still failed. This time, even so, the storage capacity was finally recognized—62.4 GB.
I already tried both of the formatting options (quick and not), but both of them failed.
Please aid me with this. All assist are appreciated. Thank you in accelerate.

Information technology sounds like you got a faulty drive. Even if you finally get it to work, I would not depend on it. These things are so cheap now you lot can get them online for a few bucks. Newegg.com has lots of them. That is the danger of buying technology items overseas, no guarantee that yous volition get something that is undecayed.
If in that location are no responses to my mail service for 3 days I remove information technology from my answer listing. If you wish to continue the thread after 3 days please PM me.

If the bulldoze was very inexpensive information technology'due south possible the drive had a fake chapters. I would not recommend using it as ranchhand posted simply you lot can try diskpart and see if the drive formats using it if the tools in the link I posted show the correct chapters.
Open up a command prompt and type the following commands with the drive attached.
diskpart
list disk
select deejay X Where 10 is the number associated with the flash bulldoze.Make sure you have the correct number as the next control wipes the bulldoze
clean deletes all partitions If the following commands neglect then start once more and use make clean all which will zero out the drive.
create division master
format fs=ntfs quick
exit
exit

Okay. I did the command prompt affair and followed everything you said. All of the commands were successful except for "format fs=ntfs quick," which resulted into this mistake:
DiskPart has encountered an error: The parameter is incorrect.
Meet the System Issue Log for more information.
What to practise? CMD said the storage of the drive is 62 GB.

If you already tried converting/formatting information technology back to FAT32 [the default, correct?] -- what happened?

Look at System Event Viewer for a clue to the error. If none found effort the following.
diskpart
listing disk
select disk X Where X is the number associated with the flash drive.Make sure you have the correct number as the next command wipes the bulldoze
clean all clean all which will zero out the drive. Wait until you see the diskpart prompt once more before typing the next command.
catechumen MBR If convert MBR gives a problem then apply convert GPT.Convert GPT should not be required equally the flash drive is merely 64GB
create partition principal
format fs=fat32 quick
leave
exit

RolandJS, I haven't tried information technology, only JohnC_21's instructions seem to do simply that and so no worries.
JohnC_21, I have done all of the commands. All of them succeeded except for "format fs=fat32 quick," which resulted into this fault:
Virtual Disk Service fault:
The volume size is too large.

Pitiful, I forgot that Fat32 in Windows volition only permit up to 32GB. Now that the drive has been zero'd out use Partition Wizard to see if yous can format the partition or use the control format fs=ntfs using diskpart.

I decided to become with the CMD method.
I entered diskpart, listing disk, select deejay 1 (the flash bulldoze), and format fs=ntfs. It resulted into the following message:
There is no volume selected.
Please select a volume and try again.
Did I miss something?

Yeah, considering you already created the partition I believe you would demand the following commands
diskpart
list volume
select volume X Where X is the number of the volume associated with your flash drive. Make sure y'all take the correct number as the next step will reformat the disk
format fs=ntfs quick
It may also work by these steps
diskpart
listing disk
select disk 10 Where X is your flash drive number
list partition
select sectionalisation Ten
format fs=ntfs quick

Okay. Sorry near that.
I tried both of those lists of commands. Unfortunately, both of them resulted into this:
DiskPart has encountered an error: The parameter is incorrect.
See the System Event Log for more data.
Any ideas?

I retrieve the bulldoze is bad, unfortunately. The last options would be using Gparted on a alive CD but you need to make sure yous are selecting the correct device in the dropdown box on the upper right of the screen. The naming convention is different in linux so your wink drive would have an sdX listing.
See this tutorial.

You first want to create a new partition table then create the main partition and format information technology ntfs.
I would also try this on another USB port of the calculator.

"...you need to make sure you are selecting the correct device in the dropdown box on the upper correct of the screen..." I way I've protected my stuff is to give unique names to all hard-drives and all partitions -- that way, regardless of boot, one "aims" a utility at the proper device or partition.

"...you need to make sure you are selecting the correct device in the dropdown box on the upper right of the screen..." One way I've protected my stuff is to requite unique names to all difficult-drives and all partitions -- that fashion, regardless of boot, i "aims" a utility at the proper device or segmentation.
The Gparted Live CD will not meet the Windows volume names. Gparted will only see the disks every bit sdX.

Thanks JohnC, is there any way to make Gparted Alive CD a petty more informative as to which hard-drive or which sectionalisation one is "aiming" at?
