Reclaim lost USB drive capacity and compatibility with various devices using USB Flash Drive Format Tool. It swiftly reformats drives to FAT, FAT32, exFAT, or NTFS file systems, renewing functionality across computers, routers, and smart TVs.
If you have ever worked with a bootable USB flash drive that you have overwritten with a raw image or multi-partitioned USB pen drive, you might find it necessary to restore it back to its factory defaults. Restoring the USB flash drive to its original state with a single disk drive partition of FAT, FAT32, exFAT, or NTFS file system is easy. Doing this for your USB storage device allows it to be easily detected and used again by all computers, routers, and smart TVs.
You may need to restore a USB drive after working with tools such as Rufus or USB Disk Storage Format Tool on Windows to burn an ISO or dd command on Linux to write an image file to the USB storage drive. Depending on the file used, these tools can make your USB device appear corrupted or unreadable on some computers or smart TVs. Sometimes the flash drive may not be assigned a drive letter, and the USB may not be detected by your computer or smart TV because these tools use raw-write style to transfer data in disk image files (usually, an .img or .iso file) to a USB flash drive. As a result, the existing MBR (Master Boot Record is the boot sector located at the very beginning of partitioned storage devices), partition table, HPA (Host Protected Area is an area of a storage drive that is not normally visible to an operating system), and/or file system is overwritten with that of the raw image file.
USB Drive Factory Reset Tool is software that helps you wipe clean and factory set your USB flash drive, pen drive, thumb drive, and any other USB storage devices back to the way they were when you bought them. The program has a simple user interface that is easy to figure out, even though it does not support languages other than English. Both novices and professionals should find it easy to use.
The software has the following system requirements:
- Windows 11
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 8
- Windows 7
- Windows Vista
- Windows XP
- Windows 2000
- Windows Server 2022/2019/2016/2012/2008/2003/2000.
