I have screwed my removable usb stick, which had nothing important stored inside. These are the steps I followed:
1) Start formating the usb stick from FAT32 to NTFS, until prompted with a message saying something similar to "USB is in use, do you want to continue with the format?" (don't take it word by word).
2) Being astonishingly intelligent, I decided to just manually unplug the USB stick from the port, so that it would no longer be in use. Yeah...
3) Problem #1: USB shows as greyed out on This PC and not accesible.
4) Problem #2: No partition is shown on Window's fantastic Disk Management tool and no options are shown on how to add a new simple volume.
5) Problem #3: device is not even shown on DiskGenius.
6) Problem #4: device is not even shown on EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard.
Scenario is simple, but search is difficult. Why? Because all similar questions are concerned about data recovery, and I am not. I just want it to work. But also I would like to know in which state it is right now, I am interested in the diagnosis as much as in the solution. Thanks in advance.
