You must format the disk in the drive before you can use it

This type of error happens when we try to connect a portable storage unit, this message appears, and sometimes it happens when we quickly disconnect the portable storage unit. To avoid a type of problem like this, what we must do is disconnect it in the safe way that is by expelling it correctly.

Other reasons

When the storage unit has bad sectors, this problem usually happens, which cannot access the information that is required.

The file system of the unit is damaged, sometimes it is damaged by mishandling of the unit, one of the causes that the file system of this damage can be due to viruses.

Now we are going to show the possible solutions for the problem.

Solution number 1: You can try connecting in different USB, sometimes the memory does not work in a USB port due to the driver that was installed at the time of connecting the memory, try to connect it in different USB.

Solution number 2: It is using the Windows console, for this we go to start and write CMD "Command Prompt", run it as administrator and the console will automatically open, we are going to write the following command.

Commands:

First this command Chkdsk d: / f

Second East Command Chkdsk d: / r

After writing the first command, changing the letter "d" for the drive letter that you cannot access, wait until the process of the first command is completed.

After typing the second command, what these two commands will do is repair the drive and the bad sectors if neither command works processed with other steps.

Solution number 3: This solution tries to try with some data recovery programs such as:

MiniTool Power Data Recovery: This is a professional data recovery program, it analyzes the faulty states of the USB memory stick, and its function is a deep analysis.

To use this program select device to scan.

Next step after scanning wait the time for it to display the files.

Finally, save the files you want to recover on a device or in a folder.

The only downside to MiniTool Power Data Recovery is that the trial version can only recover 1GB of files.

Puran File Recovery: this is another free version program that we can use to recover our data from a USB memory, this is one of the simplest what we must do is select the USB memory > select the deep scan box > press the scan button, it will automatically scan the memory deeply. When the scan is finished we must select the recovered data and save them in a folder.
