Hi. I am trying to put to use an older Toshiba 1 GB USB Drive. But it is not responding to the system. Want to format it. Have tried partition tools. Windows disk management says it is not initialized. However, when I try to initialize, the system reports that there is cyclical redundancy errors. I tried to format it with Easeus, and I watched it do it after a restart and before booting into Windows. But it was still seen as not initialized in disk management.

As a test, try using a USB 2.0 port on your computer, instead of a 3.x port.
And now that you formatted it, try initializing it again?
