hawk32 3 Report post Posted August 30, 2013 No usable free extent could be found. It may be that there is insufficientfree space to create a partition at the specified size and offset. Specifydifferent size and offset values or don't specify either to create themaximum sized partition. It may be that the disk is partitioned using the MBR diskpartitioning format and the disk contains either 4 primary partitions, (nomore partitions may be created), or 3 primary partitions and one extendedpartition, (only logical drives may be created). anybody know how to fix?

Mr Grumpy 768 Report post Posted August 30, 2013 Is it a new one or one that you've had for a while and used before? Have you tried formatting the drive? If new it's possibly a scam one. If old it has got scrambled. Probably beyond help unless anyone else has any ideas 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Grumpy 768 Report post Posted August 31, 2013 We've had something similar about 6 months ago on TS and the final solution after lots of suggestions was to dump the drive. It had got totally corrupted internally so was then useless. Unfortunately this things don't last for ever. I've had a couple I've thrown away because they stopped working Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

«NotMyRealName» 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2021 I have had a similar thing happen with a decent 128GB USB flash drive which my media player has twice corrupted the firmware/controller. The first time I managed to fix it but the 2nd time I did not. I think I might of used the wrong tool to fix it and made it not usable in the process. There are a couple of Russian sites which deal with flash drives and contains lots of tools to fix flash drives and read in depth information on them such as the controller used and the correct size. I remember at least one of the information programs being Chinese. I purchased a 2TB flash drive on eBay which was fake and the seller refunded me. Using a tool from the Russian site I managed to correct the drive size which was originally a 16GB drive with half being faulty and therefore very cheap which is why they used them to alter the drive size to show as 2TB. It worked as a 8GB drive which is how I use it so it was okay for free even if nothing special. A few of the program names are: ChipEasy, ChipGenius & Flash Drive Information Extractor. You start with those to find out the details about the drive and then you can find appropriate programs to correct the faults. Best of luck. https://flashboot.ru/files/ https://www.usbdev.ru/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
