Error In Ioctl Call Solution
The How-To Geek Forums Have Migrated to Discourse How-To Geek Forums / Windows 7 USB Drive Formatting Error (17 posts) Started 6 years ago by gazelle Latest reply from vistamike Topic Viewed 21591 times gazelle Posts: 2 This post has been reported. Hi, I have an 8GB Sandisk USB flash drive, relatively new. Recently when transferring some files there was an error and the drive could not be opened, so I tried to format the drive. The Windows utility could not format the disk, so I have since tried using the command prompt and various file format commands: format F:/q format F:/fs:fat format F:/fs:fat32 format F:/fs:ntfs Each time I get the following results: Insert new disk for drive F: and press ENTER when ready... The type of the file system is RAW. The new file system is FAT. (or whatever I tried) Verifying 8064M Error in IOCTL call. Its the final line that has got me stumped. I've had a search and cant find any solution, so I was wondering if anyone else has come across this, and whether anyone knows of a way to solve the problem. Im on Windows 7. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Reports: · Posted 6 years ago Top raphoenix Posts: 14920 This post has been reported. gazelle, Welcome to HTG.

Others may have run into same problem and found a fix for the error condition you ran into so watch your topic. Regards, Rick P.
