Hi @chicxomohamed,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Let's troubleshoot the issue with your HP v250w USB flash drive. Here's what you can do to try to fix it.

Check USB Connection

1. Try different USB ports on your computer to rule out a faulty port.
2. Test the USB drive on another device to see if it works there. If it doesn’t, the issue is likely with the USB drive itself.

Disk Management (Windows)

1. Press Win + X and select Disk Management.
2. Look for your USB drive in the list:
   • If it appears as Unallocated, right-click it and select New Simple Volume to create a partition.
   • If it appears but without a drive letter, right-click and choose Change Drive Letter and Paths to assign a letter.
   • If it says RAW, proceed to formatting (Step 3).

Force Format the USB Drive

1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
2. Type the following commands:

diskpart
list disk
select disk X  (Replace X with your USB drive number)
clean
create partition primary
format fs=ntfs quick  (Or use "format fs=fat32 quick" for FAT32)
assign
exit
 

1. Check if the drive works now.

Use HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool

• Download the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool (free utility) from HP’s support site or a trusted source.
• Use it to attempt formatting the USB drive.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
