USB Low-Level Format for Windows

USB Low-Level Format is a software that allows you to perform low-level formatting of USB drives. The software performs USB drive zero-fill and simulates the termination process, clears all flags, all data, and all USB drive settings and analyzes possible USB drive settings, finds out the physical memory size, communicates with USB drive firmware/controller and writes zero bytes to every cell on the drive.

In case of permanent data corruption, virus infiltration, invalid master boot record, hidden partition, corrupted boot sector, or bad sector flags in USB drive firmware/controller, the program can reliably repair your faulty USB drive.

The low-level formatting process is slow as the program thoroughly and irreversibly erases all data from USB drives, and then restores the drives to their original state to regain lost capacity and bring them back to normal. The program can be used as a tool for restoring factory defaults using low-level formatting as it supports more than 20 brands of USB drive controllers such as Intel, Samsung, Micron, Phison, SMI, Marvell, Toshiba, Silicon Motion, PMC, Sierra, OCZ, JMicron, Maxiotek, Goke, Greenliant, Fusion-io, Realtek, SanDisk, Western Digital, Hyperstone, Novachips, VIA, FADU.

In addition to low-level formatting capabilities, the program has other features: it allows you to create bootable USB drives for Windows installation, create bootable disks for MS-DOS, FreeDOS, Unix, Linux, WinPE (Windows PE) and WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment). The program offers 9 industrial-grade data erasure options that securely erase data on USB drives. It supports the initialization of USB drives of any capacity in popular file systems such as NTFS, FAT32, FAT, and exFAT.
