[x] I have been made aware that if my problem can be summarized as "I've created or tried to create a media using Rufus, and ...", and I am not including a log, this issue will be summarily closed.
[x] I performed a search in the issue tracker for similar issues using keywords relevant to my problem, such as the error message I got from the log.
[x] I clicked the 'Log' button (🗒️) or pressed Ctrl-L in Rufus, or used DebugView, and copy/pasted the log into the section that says <FULL LOG> below.
[x] The log I am copying is the FULL log, starting with the line Rufus version: 4.6.2208 - I have NOT removed any part of it.
Additionally (if applicable):
[x] I ran a bad blocks check, by clicking Show advanced format options then Check device for bad blocks, and confirmed that my USB is not defective.
[x] I also tried one or more of the following:
[ ] Using a different USB drive.
[x] Plugging the USB into a different port.
[x] Running Rufus on a different computer.
[ ] If using an image, I clicked on the (✓) button to compute the MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 checksums, which are therefore present in the log I copied. I confirmed, by performing an internet search, that these values match the ones from the official image.
Issue description
I wanted to create an installation disk but Rufus froze at the moment "cleaning MBR/PBR/GPT structures" I had to close it after which my flash drive died, it won't format, I can't create a volume either, CHKDSK can't do anything either, is there any way to fix the flash drive?
