A free tool to reset USB drives to factory settings

USB Drive Factory Reset Tool is a free tool you can use to conduct a factory reset on your hard drive. If the USB drive reset function is not hard-coded into the drive, or isn’t working on your computer, then you can use this reset tool to revert your drive back to normal.

Similar to Nokia Software Recovery Tool and GT Recovery, it reinstalls the basic file system that may have been damaged, corrupted or overwritten by whatever you were using the hard drive for last time. This helps you fix flash drive and external hard drive issues to get it working again.

Will USB Drive Factory Reset Tool recover my files?

Even though this tool is able to rebuild the software on a hard drive, it cannot help you recover your data. Even if the tool creates a new filing system, there is no guarantee a different recovery program could rebuild the data you have lost.

Will it restore my hard drive to factory settings?

The definition is a bit of a misnomer because it cannot restore your hard drive to exactly the same as factory settings. But, this tool can install systems, files and functions that were present on your external hard drive or flash drive since most USB drives have similar software, file systems, setups and so forth.

Get your USB working again

After using your flash drive or external hard drive for programming, malware hunting, or even for console game savings, it may appear corrupted or unable to function when you plug it into your PC. This external drive restore tool formats your USB drive so that it works on your desktop or mobile device again.

A simple user interface

It uses a GUI similar to the drive format function on Windows. This tool works on versions of Windows all the way back to the year 2000, and that is also true for Windows servers too.
