FORMAT VIRUS INFECTED PEN DRIVE/MEMORY CARD EFFECTIVELY: HELLO FRIENDS TODAY i AM GOING TO SHARE THREE WAYS OF FORMATTING AN INFECTED PENDRIVE/VIRUS WHICH WE ARE UNABLE TO FORMAT DIRECTLY....MAYBE THE FIRST ONE MAY NOT WORK BUT THE SECOND WAY WILL WORK 100%....SO CHECK THEM OUT... 1. PRESS WINDOWS KEY ANDGO TO RUN TYPE cmd AND PRESS ENTER NOW IN THE DOS WINDOW(BLACK SCREEN) TYPE THE FOLLOWING "FORMAT F "(here F is the drive letter of my pen drive/memory card and write without quotes) 2. IF THE ABOVE METHOD DOES NOT WORK TRY THIS OUT .. THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY WORK.. PRESS WINDOWS KEY AND GO TO RUN TYPE cmd AND PRESS ENTER NOW IN THE DOS WINDOW(BLACK SCREEN) TYPE THE FOLLOWING "FORMAT X: /FS:FAT32 /Q /V: PenDrive" (here x is thedrive letter of my pen drive/memory card..and write without quotes AND DONOT GIVE SPACE BETWEEN"V: AND PENDRIVE" HERE I GIVED SPACE BECAUSE IT WAS TURNING INTO A SMILEY) 3. Use a Linux Box Other solution to the infected pen drive is view the contents of pen drive using a Linux System. As most of the viruses affect Windows PC’s, it is very unlikely that pen drive virusmay be effective on any Linux system. When you’ll view the contents of infected pen drive from Linux Box, you’ll be able to spot the virus and delete it permanently i.e you can format it in a computer having ubuntu or some other linux based operating system.. HOPE THIS HELPS ALL OF YOU.... -webtrix. Ad: get 80% discount at www.godaddy.com
