What to do if a USB stick no longer boots - video tutorial

Hi friends, in today's tutorial we will talk about USB sticks, ie we'll see what we can do with a USB stick if it gets nebootabil. Over time, due to misuse, improper formatting or a strange format, in the process of making bootable operating systems with different exotic it may lose property has boot.
If we know that in the past was booting and now it does not boot no matter what operating system or what tools we put on it, there is a solution to make the stick to boot again.
We'll have to use an Ubuntu Linux distribution to bring it back to life, or you can even use a bootable ISO Gparted Live CD image that you can download as well. Burn a CD.
GParted Live CD DOWNLOAD
Basically we use GParted to restore the property's stick to boot, GParted is a soft handle complex editing, formatting, deleting, creating partitions.
May be cases in which the fault is not the computer but the USB stick. Some older computers have the ability to boot from USB sticks. If you followed the steps in the tutorial and it still does not boot stick, most likely you do not have appropriate settings in BIOS for it to boot or not your computer has the ability to boot.
My colleague Cristi did a tutorial in the past about Some brief explanations about the BIOS settings where he explains among other things as set in the BIOS as the PC can boot from a USB stick or a bootable CD. If you do not have those settings in BIOS I'm talking about my colleague means that your PC is unable to boot from a USB stick and then you can use something different. I have done in the past a tutorial on How to boot from a USB stick on computers that do not have this option or VirtualBox in which I presented a solution and this situation. That said, I invite you to watch the video tutorial to see exactly what we can do if the USB stick does not boot properly although we did when we made bootable with Windows, Ubuntu, Sardu and so on.
