So this usb storage device has worked before. I formatted it in order to use it as a bootable device for a process I am attempting. On accident, I formatted it to FAT (need FAT32). Now when I connect it I cann't see it on 'My Computer.' Under 'Disk Management' I can see it. Though when I try to right-click and assign drive letter it shows an error message (pictured below).
Same thing happens if I try to format it from here.
You have created a GPT initialized Drive not an MBR. Signified by the EFI System partitioin.
Right click Disk 1 Removable in the lower panel on the left panel side. And choose to Convert MBR. Once done, Right click each partition on the right side and choose Delete Volume if necessary. The drive should now be Unallocated Space, Right click the Unallocated Space and choose to create a new Simple Volume. Format it FAT32.
I was able to format it with a .exe that turned it into a tool. Seems to work fine now.
