Hello,
I am working as a teacher in China. I use PPTs in class that I make on the desktop PC computer they gave me, I also have my laptop from home, but I don't have the powerpoint program, so I don't use it for lesson planning. The school computers are both slow and often filled with viruses, so when I bring the USBs back to my apartment I often reformat them. One of them was having too many issues and the PC said it could not reformat it, so I used my macbook. I used Disk Utility with the settings of Mac OS Extended (journalled) with the security option "Zero Out". Then I tried to check and see if anything needed to be repaired. It said "Volume Header Needs Minor Repair", "The Volume was found corrupt and needs to be repaired" then it says "Disk Utility stopped repairing" and "Disk utility can't repair this disk, back up as many files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backup files". Then the details say "The volume could not be repaired".
Now the PC doesn't know what to do with it and still won't reformat it, but says it does not have anything on it.
What do I do now? I'm really frustrated and this is a 64 GB drive. It's especially frustrating because it seems like my problems are caused by my own computer.
