How do I reset an usb stick ( or usb external hard drive) to function as an
usb stick( or usb external hard drive) ?
I unwisely install bootstar while my usb external
hard drive was attached to the computer.
after I rebooted the computer it no longer pick up external hard drive icon.
however in 'disk management' it recognize it as disk 1 basic unallocated
drive instead of disk 1 removable drive. I tried to create a new partition
with it but it return a error message.

please help.
