I have a USB with movies on it. It worked perfectly before.

Now if I plug it in to my TV it says there is a problem with the USB so I plugged it in into my computer.

It doesn't have the icon it normally has - here is a screen shot the name of the USB is YENTE

I opened the properties tab and there was something weird too. On the hardware tab there is disk station called ATTAPI iHOS104 and its type is dvd/cd-rom:

How do I fix this?

What's the make and model of the USB flash drive? – David Schwartz – 2017-03-02T21:38:50.227

Its 64 G from the company lexar – dolfijn3000 – 2017-03-02T21:47:43.253

Unfortunately, that's not sufficient. Lexar makes many different 64GB drives and they have a variety of different ways of triggering autorun, which is the thing you're trying to disable. Do you know the actual model? – David Schwartz – 2017-03-02T21:48:57.033

No the exact model i dont know what i want that my usb works again with my tv like my first screenshot you can see the i con of it is a yelow disk i dont know why he does that but there is somthin g. With my usb and now i cant use it on my tv – dolfijn3000 – 2017-03-02T21:53:01.900

You can try backing it up (if it has data you care about) and then using a raw format utility. But it's hard to predict the result without knowing the exact model you have. – David Schwartz – 2017-03-02T21:54:31.207

I already reformated ot once dont inow or thatvis the same as raw format but the reformat did not work – dolfijn3000 – 2017-03-02T21:55:50.720

What tool did you use to format it? (And if you selected format from the windows drive manager, you didn't format the flash drive, you formatted the partition, which is not the same thing.) – David Schwartz – 2017-03-02T22:00:01.083

Oww i used that obe from windowse can u please send somz programs then – dolfijn3000 – 2017-03-02T22:11:02.560

Punch "usb flash low level format" into your favorite search engine. – David Schwartz – 2017-03-02T22:14:22.107
