This has solved a real headache of a problem I was having with a USB stick. Lesson learned that you can't always easily swap a USB stick between Windows NTFS & Linux EXT4 filing systems. The memory stick worked perfectly fine in Linux even with NTFS, but Windows just wouldn't mount it or even format it when I tried. Third party software seemed to be able to format it, but the problem appeared to be I couldn't get the USB to take a letter - hence without a path, Windows won't mount it for access. DiskPart wouldn't even clear it - your attributes command must have done something to allow everything to start working again. Nightmare nearly over now haha, thank you sir!

I had this problem on Windoze 10, and this is too much work. I normally use Linux, so I put the USB drive in Linux and took care of it. Microsoft needs to fix this problem, because I got a feeling it is more common than we might think. Good video for anyone without a Linux computer.

A relatively little known and forgotten shortcut feature of diskpart that has been in there since the days of NT is the fact you only need to type in enough of most commands and arguments that will uniquely identify them, in most cases the 1st 3 characters of most commands and arguments are enough eg: lis dis sel dis 2 att dis clear readonly cle cre par pri ass letter=z for quick

That's how I first learned computers. The command prompt is very useful but sometimes scary. That's one of the reasons why I love it when you do these videos on it. Way too many commands for me to remember. But still it's kinda fun to do. Thank you Brian.

I just had to delete all the partitions and format the full unallocated space using diskpart and follow your instructions which were very well done and easy to follow and see. All I had to do after doing that was change it to GPT and I was able to install a fresh Windows 10 OS. Cheers.
