September 25, 20196 yr I downloaded and ran the Unraid USB Creator for Windows, but whenever I try to format the USB flash drive it gives the following error message: Error: Couldn't open \\?\PhysicalDrive2 Can anyone tell me what this means and how to resolve it?

Mine is also a SanDisk USB device (Cruzer Edge) Did you check the documentation entry ? If you have trouble, you should try on another computer or try the Manual method. https://wiki.unraid.net/Articles/Getting_Started#Preparing_Your_USB_Flash_Device
May 31, 20224 yr I had this issue as well (with a Cruzer Blade), and thought I would share my solution that solved it for me at least. I tried wiping all partitions of the drive in Disk Management in Windows, but had strange issues and the drive couldn't be formatted. I solved it by instead using diskpart (from cmd) to clean all the partitions and then create a new one. After that the Unraid USB flash creator worked fine. Follow this guide if you're not familiar with diskpart https://www.qualityology.com/tech/properly-delete-a-partition-on-usb-drive-using-diskpart/ And be careful! Make sure that you select the correct disk before cleaning it!
