Hi @Manuprasa,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your pen drive!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

Try these steps:

1. Check for Physical Damage

• Inspect the USB drive for any visible physical damage that might affect its performance.

2. Scan for Errors

• Windows: Insert the pendrive into your computer.
  1. Open File Explorer and right-click on the USB drive.
  2. Select Properties > Tools.
  3. Under Error checking, click Check.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to fix any detected errors.

3. Format the USB Drive

• IMPORTANT: Formatting will erase all data on the USB drive. Make sure to back up any important data before proceeding.
• Windows:
  1. Insert the pendrive into your computer.
  2. Open File Explorer and right-click on the USB drive.
  3. Select Format.
  4. Choose the file system (NTFS or exFAT is recommended for drives larger than 32GB).
  5. Ensure Quick Format is checked and click Start.

4. Check for Firmware Updates

• Visit the HP Support website and search for any firmware updates available for your model of USB drive.

5. Use Disk Management

• For advanced users, Disk Management can help you create new partitions and manage the drive.
  1. Press Win + X and select Disk Management.
  2. Locate your USB drive, right-click, and choose Delete Volume (ensure data is backed up).
  3. Right-click on the unallocated space and select New Simple Volume.
  4. Follow the wizard to format and assign a drive letter.

6. Use Command Prompt to Fix Corrupted USB Drives

• Insert the pendrive and open Command Prompt as an administrator.
  1. Type diskpart and press Enter.
  2. Type list disk and press Enter. Identify your USB drive from the list.
  3. Type select disk X (replace X with your USB drive number) and press Enter.
  4. Type clean and press Enter to remove all partitions.
  5. Type create partition primary and press Enter.
  6. Type format fs=ntfs quick (or format fs=exfat quick for compatibility with larger files) and press Enter.
  7. Type assign and press Enter.
  8. Type exit and press Enter.

I hope this helps.
