Fixing a currupt (or corrupted? ) USB drive

I open (in Windows) the disk management tool, and I keep getting this message when trying to format the USB drive:

usb drive windows cannot format the volume because the volume is offline

this video explain how to "brutally fix" the USB drive:




run diskpart in admin mode

list disk

select disk N (N depends on your system)

list partition

select partition M (M depends on your system)

delete partition override


All this happened because I was preparing a USB drive to boot Centos 7 as per https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey and using the https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ win32diskimager ... apparently I have stopped it while it was writing, and this corrupted the USB disk.... scary...




Here a useful list of commands.... priceless.... https://commandwindows.com/diskpart.htm much better than the Disk Management UI tool
