FAQs about Kingshiper Data Recovery

4.1  How to Fix Can’t Format USB and Restore Data?

Method 1: Check for Physical Damage

Start by checking if the USB drive has any physical damage. Try plugging the USB drive into another computer or USB port to see if it's recognized. If the drive isn’t detected, it may be physically damaged and require professional repair.

Method 2: Remove Write Protection

If the USB drive is write-protected, you won't be able to format it. Check if the drive has a physical write-protection switch. If it does, slide the switch to the unlocked position and try formatting again.

Method 3: Use Disk Management Tool

The built-in Windows Disk Management tool can help resolve formatting issues by resetting the partition table.

1. Connect the USB drive to your computer. Press “Win + R” to open the Run dialog, type “diskmgmt.msc”, and hit Enter to open Disk Management.

2. Locate the USB drive in the list, right-click on it, and select "Reset Partition Table."

3. Confirm by clicking "Yes" in the pop-up window.

4. Restart your computer, reconnect the USB drive, and try formatting again.

Method 4: Run a Virus Scan

If the USB drive is infected with a virus, it may prevent formatting. Use antivirus software to run a full scan on the drive. If any threats are found, follow the software’s instructions to remove them. Once cleaned, try formatting the drive again.

Many USB drives have a physical write protection switch to prevent accidental data loss or virus infection. Check the exterior of the USB drive for a switch. If you find one, slide it to the unlocked position and try accessing the drive again.

If the write protection is caused by a registry error, you can disable it through the Registry Editor.

1. Open the Start menu, type "regedit", and press Enter to launch the Registry Editor.

2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

4. Set the value of “WriteProtect” to 0. Close the Registry Editor, reconnect the USB drive, and check if the write protection is removed.

Method 3: Change Disk Policy

Restricted disk permissions can also cause write protection issues. Adjusting the disk policy to "Better Performance" can help.

1. Insert the USB drive into your computer. Open File Explorer, right-click on the USB drive, and select “Properties”.

2. Go to the “Policies” tab and select "Better Performance."Click “OK” to apply the changes.

Method 4: Run an Antivirus Scan

Virus infections can trigger write protection on a USB drive. Run a full antivirus scan on the drive to detect and remove any threats. After the scan, try accessing the drive again.

Method 5: Change File Permissions

If the write protection is set at the file system level, you can modify the drive's permissions to regain control.

1. Right-click the USB drive and select “Properties”. Go to the“Security” tab and click “Edit”.

2. Under “Group or user names”, select “Everyone”.

3. Tick “Full Control” under Permissions and click “OK” to confirm.

Method 6:  Use Diskpart to Clear Write Protection

The Diskpart command-line tool allows you to modify drive attributes directly from the Command Prompt.

1. Press “Win + R”, type “cmd”, and press Enter. Type “diskpart” and press Enter.

2. Type “list disk” and press Enter to display all connected drives.

3. Identify your USB drive's number and type: select disk 0 (Replace“0”with your drive's number).

4. Type: attributes disk clear readonly. After that, reconnect your USB drive.

2. Right-click the USB drive and select “Format”.

Possible Causes

The external device (USB drive, memory card, hard drive, etc.) may have existing issues, such as: a) File system corruption; b) Hardware failure; c) Connection problems

Image:

The preview panel will show a thumbnail of the image.

Double-click the image to open and view it in full size.

2. When Files Cannot Be Previewed

If a file cannot be previewed, it's likely damaged and may not open properly after recovery.

Image:

If the preview panel shows only a generic file icon instead of an image thumbnail, the file is probably corrupted and may not open after recovery.

Document:

If the preview panel shows only a software icon without displaying the content, the document is likely damaged and may not be readable after recovery.
