In order to demonstrate the benefit of flipping the RMB removable media bit , take a look at this image showing my current disk situation in my Windows 10 system. The one circled in red is a USB flash drive brand Fujitsu.
If I open up the properties screen for the flash drive, you can clearly see that Windows 10 recognizes the drive as being removable. That eliminates your chances of creating partitions or installing a bootable Windows operating system on the drive.
Although if you are going to create partitions or install operating systems on the drive, the data on it will still be destroyed. Immediately I get a notification that the drive is successfully changed, prompting me to re-insert my flash drive for the changes to take effect. I hope this helps someone else as well.

I have written another article about flipping the removable bit on your flash drive with the Lexar BootIt tool. You only need to load system files if you want to be able to boot from your USB drive. If you go ahead and press the format button in the tool, an extra warning message will appear to inform you that all data on the drive will be erased.
I have been able to solve a number of different flash drive problems with this tool, and I can confirm that it will sometimes work with certain other brands than Lexar as well.
Please be advised though, that there are so many different brands and models of flash drives out there that your mileage may vary. My advice would be: if your drive has become unreadable and it seems lost anyway, give it a try with the Lexar USB Format tool before you decide that your USB drive has died. On the other hand: flash drives are pretty cheap. You can also replace the thing if it keeps causing issues.
If something is really wrong with it, you can easily spend the better part of your day trying to fix it and that may just not be the best way to spend your time. If you've enjoyed this article or found it useful, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know by clicking the Like or Share button below.
