| Problem | Likely Cause | Potential Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Wrong tool version, driver not installed, or VID/PID mismatch. | 1. Try a different tool version (e.g., the v18.05.29.02). 2. Manually input your VID/PID in the tool's settings. 3. Reinstall the drivers from the tool's DRIVERS folder. | | I get a "Bad Block" error. | The memory chip has too many physical defects for the current settings. | Go to the "Memory Chip" settings. Increase the ECC value to 12 or 15. Change the scanning mode from "Low Level" to a less strict mode. Use "Speed Optimize" instead of "Capacity Optimize". | | The capacity after repair is much smaller. | The tool has successfully marked many bad blocks as unusable to ensure data stability. | This is a success, not a failure. The drive is now reliable for its remaining capacity. You can only get a larger capacity by using lenient ECC settings, which risks future data corruption. | | The drive still doesn't work after a "Pass" result. | The partition table may be corrupted or the drive needs a full format. | Go to Windows "Disk Management", delete any partitions on the USB drive, and then create a new simple volume. Then, perform a full format. |
