      It did not work help me out if possible. It shows that no usable free extent could be found. It may be that thre is insufficient free space to create partition at the specified size and offset. Asking to specify different size and offset values

    Why didn't I watch this video first? I wasted hours today trying to fix a brand new micro SD card I had messed up. I was literally going to toss it when I did one last search for a solution and this video popped up. Had the thing fixed in minutes after following the instructions. 👍

  • @ThinkPositiveDude
    @ThinkPositiveDude 3 года назад +2

    This works, thank you!!! just a quick note though when I closed out the command prompt part, it still showed the wrong capacity, so what I did was I ejected the flash drive and reinstalled it prompting me to format the drive which showed the correct size.

  • @SuperLittleTyke
    @SuperLittleTyke Год назад

    I've found that the I/O error mentioned in my first post in this comment thread was caused by a faulty SD Card adapter. I have been using the Integral Dual-Slot Micro SD & SD USB2.0 Memory Card Reader Adapter (white one shaped like a USB stick) for six years. Instead, I placed the unreadable/unwriteable micro SD card in a different adapter (one with a USB cable attached) and Windows 10 recognised it instantly. I ran error checking on it and Windows found and corrected a few problems, but everything is working fine now. Four days I've spent on this, watching RUclips videos and searching Google! So the old Integral adapter is going in the bin, along with a duplicate, which is even older.

    Nice video Brian - frustrating also when flashing Linux images to USB but trusty ole diskpart can always fix the issue with a couple more commands I.e., list partition - > select partition x - > format fs=fat32 (think I remembered that correctly of the top of my head!) - cheers mate 👍

  • @IMAUZR
    @IMAUZR Год назад

    Thanks, for sharing, Mate. With some doubt for my choice of drives (in this case), the Command fix was passed up this time; but, I know it is possible having walked that path before. With my two major brand 128GB USBs presenting figures of zero for storage and availability, your Disk Management method made this weary of three days of research old dude (who has been kicking MS since Windows 3.1) extremely stoked. As usual, you do great work, and we appreciate it. Now I get to do my stuff.
    Just a note: I could not format with my preferred drive letter F designation. It was unavailable? No relationship to your letter F choice. This would simply work for me. Also, even a better choice (in my case) would have been the possibility of having no assignment of drive letter or drive path; however, I could not engage that option? Eureka! Completing that process did the trick. So, here I am still doing cartwheels because I don't have to chuck two new 128 GBs to the landfill. 🥳
