buy a new one.

thatd be a waste of money if i could just fix this one

Not sure the kind of problem you are fully having, but you could try reformatting it. Disk management is used in windows to do so. It can be found under control panel and administrative tools. There is an option to create and format hard disk partitions. Also a command to just open the program type diskmgmt.msc into the command prompt.

From there hopefully you will be able to see the usb, or storage device, in the top or bottom list. Just right click the device and format it, that is if it shows up.

>>1 I suggest you buy a new one. You broke it :/

You need to remake a GTP table and a partition. Windows only works with NTFS and fat partitions. I think >>4 is how you do it.

Use MiniTool Partition Wizard to create a new partition. You can find the program online.

Just use a partition tool. A good one should let you mount it, then you can create a new partition, NFTS or FAT, whatever you want.
