Hi Tim, Thanks for your reply. It's exactly what I'm doing, but unfortunately, sometimes the format operation does not achieve (particularly with NTFS file system) and I don't know why. Running a second time, or formatting first in FAT32 then in NTFS, the format is Ok.
In my Shell command, I had /X (force dismount of volume) and I don't use a loop waiting for the end of the Shell. It seems to me unuseful, given that the Shell mode is asynchronous. It would be better to use a synchronous mode if it's necessary to wait for the shell to finish execution. What about that? Any idea of what's happening?
