best way to format a pen drive after using Ventoy?
#4
All currently supported versions

1) Detach target drive
2) Start, diskpart
3) LIST  DISK - note the disk #'s for the drives that are currently attached
4) Attach target drive
5) LIST DISK - make a note of the disk # that was not present before - this must be the target drive that was just attached
6) SELECT DISK n - where n is the disk # of the target drive
7) CLEAN - this logically erases the drive (file system data, partition data) so the drive now has no partitions and is all free space; takes about 10 seconds; or
7a) CLEAN  ALL - this physically erases the drive - data cannot be recovered by any PC undelete/unformat utility; draw back is depending on size of drive and speed of machine, it may run for hours
8) EXIT
