FORMAT PENDRIVE USING CMD

Formatting is a valuable and essential tool when dealing with any type of storage disk and can help to solve a lot of errors and headaches. But what do you do if your USB flash drive needs to be formatted but, every time you try through the property menus it comes up with an error, or won’t even recognise the drive properly at all. Don’t despair because here is something you can do.
Format pendrive using cmd  is a common process that may need to be undertaken quite frequently, but unless you have gone through this procedure before it can be a mine field. The last thing you want is to finish the process and end up with an unusable pendrive . Here is a quick step by step guide to Format pendrive using cmd

STEPS TO FORMAT PENDRIVE USING CMD


This guide formats your flash drive as FAT32, to format as NTFS simply substitute the term in the command box. FAT32 is the recommended formatting style by this guide but many do prefer NTFS. Follow the Below steps to Format an unformatable Pendrive.
Step 1. Turn on computer as normal
Step 2. Once you are in your desktop insert Pendrive into USB port
Please note: if you know the letters associated with your disk locations or can use a utility such as disk part to list this information then skip steps 3 and 4
Step 3. Go into my computer (accessible from the start menu or desktop) and look down the navigation panel on the left hand side, this lists down to the popular and root menu folders and locations on your computer.
Step 4. Your Pendrive should be listed in one of these locations, it may be referred to by brand, as portable storage or something similar. Next to this label will be a letter,
for example “G: removable storage device ” if the device does not show up you may need to test the port to find the letter with another USB device. This letter needs to be written down or remembered in order to complete this process.
Step 5. Go to the windows start menu, click start or the Windows symbol depending on your edition of Windows, then click run.
Step 6. Type cmd into the run dialog box and click OK, this is to start the command prompt window from which you will be able to choose your format style and name your drive.
Step 7. Then the command prompt window is opened and you will need to type ” Format G: ” 
if you want to Format it as FAT32  then type ” Format G: /FS: FAT32 ”
Step 8. The G in this instance refers to our example Pendrive location, instead you would enter the letter that you remembered or wrote down from the my computer side panel
After you have typed the above command press enter.
Step 9. Here, you will be asked to press enter again and then to give a name for your drive. Follow these prompts then click on enter again.
You have completed the process of Formating pendrive using cmd; go back into my computer to check that the formatting has been completed successfully.

How to rotate a laptop or PC screen using your keyboard

How to rotate a laptop or PC screen using your keyboard

If you’re running Windows 7 or 8, you may be able to quickly rotate your screen 90°, 180° or 270° at any time by pressing three keys.

Simply hold down Control + Alt and then select the arrow key for which way you want your laptop or PC screen to face.

Your monitor will then go briefly go blank and will return in a few seconds facing a different orientation. To restore this back to the traditional settings, press Control + Alt + the up arrow.

If this doesn't work, you'll need to use one of the methods below.

How to rotate a laptop or PC screen via Control Panel

Step one

Another way to rotate your screen is to right click the Windows desktop and select Screen Resolution from the dropdown menu that appears. Changing the screen orientation via Control Panel is equally simple. Press the Windows key and type in "Screen Resolution" then press enter.

Alternatively, if you're using Windows 7, you can click Start > Control Panel > Display > Screen Resolution.

Step two

From here select the monitor that you wish to rotate from the Display drop-down box and then finally select Portrait or Landscape in the Orientation field.

How to rotate a laptop or PC screen using Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel

You can also rotate a display using your graphics card’s control panel. (Note that there are too many different software suites to list the each one individually, so treat this as a general guide.)

A shortcut to your graphics control panel can be found in a couple of places. Right-clicking the desktop and selecting the appropriate option will give you access to the Intel, Nvidia or AMD graphics card control panels, but the graphics drivers and software often add icons to the system tray on the right-hand side of your taskbar. Double-clicking these icons, or right-clicking thereon, will normally give access to the control panel, and also often a wide range of other options, too. Handily, some also permit you to right click their respective icons and select screen rotation from a dropdown menu.

Once the relevant control panels are open, you'll need to peruse the 'display' or 'desktop' menus to find the rotation option for your monitor. The exact location varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, so a quick hunt around will soon locate the option you need.
