Restoring the original status of a USB memory stick

To be able to use a USB memory stick for CMC, you must make sure that the partitions are
created correctly.
A USB memory stick can be used without problems on a PC, whereas it cannot be used to
run a CMC package on an NCU/PPU. This may be due to the partitions or the file system on
the USB memory stick.
Prerequisite
Observe the following information about formatting a USB memory stick:
● No special program is required on a Windows PC
● Administrator rights are required
Formatting a USB memory stick
Carry out the following instructions if your USB stick does not start with a CMC package on an
NCU/PPU or if similar problems arise:
diskpart
list disk
sel disk <n>
clean
create part primary
format quick fs=fat32 label="CMC"
On a Windows PC, you enter the instructions at the command prompt. On LINUX PCs, use
other options such as "gparted".
Procedure
1. Open the command prompt on the Windows PC and enter diskpart. The utility for
partitioning hard disks and removable data storage media is started in a new window. It is
possible that a Windows UAC prompt appears, which you must confirm with "Yes".
2. The data storage media detected are displayed after you enter list disk. Here, you
must find out the number of the data storage medium on the basis of the USB memory stick's
memory capacity. In our example, it is data storage medium 1.
