  • common USB drive problem solved. Drop us a LIKE 👍

  • Not working, Failed to create partition primary . If you Any solution reply me please

  • I got "no usuable free exent could be found" when I tried to create a partition, disk management says my drive capacity is only 64MB when it is 64 gig. I fukn hate microsoft products, complete agony every time I try to do anything compared to mac.

  • Not solved this method.
    When type command:

    DISKPART> create partition primary

    No usable free extent could be found. It may be that there is insufficient

    free space to create a partition at the specified size and offset. Specify

    different size and offset values or don't specify either to create the

    maximum sized partition. It may be that the disk is partitioned using the MBR disk

    partitioning format and the disk contains either 4 primary partitions, (no

    more partitions may be created), or 3 primary partitions and one extended

    partition, (only logical drives may be created).

  • Theres one thing that would stop a thumb drive from being formatted is if you turn on file protection on once that is enabled you can't turn it off and can't format the thumb drive.
