So I was trying to format a USB disk in Ubuntu. I used the normal way of formatting the USB. I right click on the mounted USB and clicked on format disk. It gave me the usual warning about the data loss and the next thing I saw was this error message:
Error Formatting Volume
This partition cannot be modified because it contains a partition table; >please reinitialize layout of the whole device. (udisks-error-quark, 11)
The USB disk I was trying to format was previously used as a live USB for Solus Linux. Clearly, Ubuntu wasn’t very happy about it (pun intended).
I tried using GParted. But strangely, GParted could not fix this issue despite the fact that it had fixed Error Formatting Volume in the past.
In this quick tip, I am going to show you how to fix this Error Formatting Volume issue in Ubuntu and perhaps other Ubuntu based Linux distributions such as Linux Mint.
Fix “Error Formatting Volume” in Ubuntu
You may watch this video to see how to fix this error in action:
We’ll be using Disks utility provided by Ubuntu here. Just look for Disks utility. If you are using Unity or GNOME, just search for Disks:
I am using Pop OS theme and icon so my screenshots may look different. But you can still find your way out, I know.
In the Disks application, select your USB disk. Be very sure that you have selected the USB disk you wish to format. From the top right menu, select Format Disk option.
Since it is a USB stick, select MBR partitioning like the one in the picture below:
You’ll get the usual warning about losing your data on the USB disk. Click on Format:
Once formatted, you’ll see your disk with entirely free storage:
At this point, you should also create a partition of the entire free space size here. I have used another USB disk in the below screenshots.
Format it to FAT file system.
Once you have created the partition, you’ll see that the USB is mounted immediately.
That’s it. I hope this quick post helped you to fix the “This partition cannot be modified because it contains a partition table” error while formatting the USB stick in Ubuntu Linux.
Are you having trouble formatting a USB stick on Ubuntu? This guide will show you how to format a USB or hard drive that cannot be otherwise formatted due to the error: udisks-error-quark, 11 (Error in formatting volume). This error usually occurs when your storage device has several partitions in it.
In this article, we’ll take a look at the root cause behind this error, and how you can fix it to make your USB drive usable again.
What Causes the Error While Formatting Volume?
The error occurs when your USB disk or storage device contains several partition tables, and therefore you need to initialize it before you can use it again.
For practical reasons, let’s format a bootable USB drive that contains Pop!_OS. Although this guide uses a USB drive, the process is the same if you are formatting an external or internal storage drive with multiple partitions.
If you are not having trouble formatting your disk drive but want to recreate the error, simply create several partitions on your USB drive, for example, by creating a bootable USB drive on Linux using Etcher.
To format your partitioned USB on Ubuntu, right-click the drive and select the Format drive option from the context menu. If your USB drive or storage device has multiple partitions, you will most likely get the error: Error formatting volume (udisks-error-quark, 11).
You can use the Disks utility on Ubuntu to overcome this issue. Disks is a powerful and versatile disk management tool that comes preinstalled as part of your standard Ubuntu desktop.
Without further ado, let’s fix the formatting volume error in three simple steps.
Step 1: Format the Drive With the Disks Utility
To start Disks, simply press the Super key and type the word disks in the input, then click on Disks.
Select the appropriate USB drive that you wish to format from the available options presented on the left sidebar.
Please, make sure that you have selected the proper drive before proceeding to format to avoid loss of data.
Click on the three-dot menu button in the top menu bar and select the Format Disk option.
In the following menu, simply use the default partitioning scheme, which is MBR/DOS, for compatibility with most systems.
In the next prompt, Disks will ask you to confirm the formatting of your drive. Click Format and all the data on the selected device will be erased. You can also use shred to erase the data on your drive if you don’t want others to be able to recover it.
Step 2: Create a New Partition
Once the formatting is complete, you will have a void drive with free unallocated space. You’ll need to partition your USB drive to make it usable.
Click the + (Plus) button to create a new partition on your USB storage device.
In the next step, click Next to create a single partition on your storage device or select your desired partition size using the slider.
Step 3: Assign a File System
The final step in formatting the USB drive is to assign a file system and name the USB drive.
Disks will present you with more configuration options. The recommended file system to choose is FAT, as it’s compatible with all mainstream operating systems, such as macOS, Unix, Linux, and Windows.
Feel free to select the options that fit your needs and click on the Create button to finalize the process.
Now You Can Format Your Storage Drive on Ubuntu
This guide has shown you how to solve the «Error in formatting volume» issue on Ubuntu. The error is usually caused as a result of having multiple partition tables on a storage device.
Disks is the ultimate disk management utility for Linux devices. You can use it to create, delete, and manage the partitions on your storage devices, including SSDs.
If you create a live USB of a Linux distribution, you might have issues in formatting the USB key later.
You may see an error like this: Error Formatting Volume This partition cannot be modified because it contains a partition table; please reinitialize layout of the whole device.
udisks-error-quark, 11 This quick tutorial shows you how to fix this error and format the USB. The tutorial uses Disks tool that comes preinstalled in Ubuntu but you can also use more generic tools like Gparted for this task.
Text version of the tutorial can be found here:

1.0TB Hard Disk Error! udisks-error-quark,0 | i/o error — Can’t format! please help
Hello Ubuntu community, i’m having a really hard time trying to resolve this issue, since yesterday that i’m around my laptop trying to fix this HDD problem!
I have an asus vivobook a542ur with 1TB HDD, it was working all fine, i did a partition on windows, installed ubuntu with a pen and so i have a dualboot, yesterday i was in ubuntu and the laptop froze for like 15/20 secs, after that it shutdown and now i cant enter in windows or ubuntu.
i have tried a lot of things, right now im using the ubuntu live session from a USB.
sometimes it was detecting the hdd in the bios, and sometimes it didnt show, so i opened the laptop, removed the HDD and inserted it again, well it didnt hurt trying…but nothing happened.
in ubuntu Disks it shows my 1TB HD but with partition unknown…https://imgur.com/a/VygG6m7
If i try to format it gives me the error: Error formating volume — Error wiping device: failed to probe the device ‘/dev/sda3’ (udisks-error-quark, 0)
and in the GParted when i open it it gives the same error as below, but after ignoring like 10 times it shows the HD, i try new and it says i need partition table, i try to create it and it gives that error again in the image. after some ignores the error change to: input/output error during read on /dev/sda (and write too).
https://imgur.com/a/yq2PuCi
So, probably my MBR is ****ed up right? i tried the boot-repair but when i open it says to backup the date before this operation, i click ok but there is no recommended or advanced options, only the about, quit and create a bootinfo, and thats what i did.
http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VSWyjjPbq2/
i tried a lot of things already and i dont know what to do more. i dont even care anymore about the data, i just want the hd to work with ubuntu, i just want to format it somehow and install ubuntu, its really urgent that i can start work again with the laptop and im getting crazy, and i cant afford to spend money on a new HD.
Thank you for your time, hope you guys can give me some idea to resolve this problem, it would be the best Christmas present xD
Merry Christmas!

In Disks and upper right corner is Smart Status.
While it can run lots of tests, all I know is whether it says drive is good or bad.Boot-Repair says UEFI Secure Boot is now on?
Did you do a Windows update (or did it do one in background) and change UEFI settings?
Windows does that with major updates and you may not notice as it just takes a bit longer to shutdown and reboot.Report is not showing drive at all. But most common issue after abnormal shutdown is file corruption. But now that you have done various other changes, not sure if chkdsk on NTFS and fsck on ext4 partitions will solve anything.
Post this from live installer.
sudo parted -l
sudo fdisk -lu
If gpt, run this also:
sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda
And if gpt, you have backup partition table that may help resolve issues, unless you repartitioned as part of your changes already done.

Ok, now it seems that isn’t even detecting the HD, in GParted only shows my pendrive now… its weird, i restarted it before doing this, pressed escape and i could choose windows, ubuntu or the USB… and as you could see from the image it detected the disk before. it seems sometimes it detects and sometimes it doesn’t?? but its weird since in the boot menu i could choose windows and ubuntu….
EDIT: now it doesnt show either in the boot-repair report:

Re: 1.0TB Hard Disk Error! udisks-error-quark,0 | i/o error — Can’t format! please he
It knows flash drive is sdb, but shows no sda.
It says Secure boot is on in line 206.
The boot entries before line 206 are from UEFI, not from drive. And now that you cannot see sda, those entries will not work.In UEFI/BIOS is drive shown (not boot entries) under something like storage devices, drives or similar? If not double check connections.

unmount error, udisks-error-quark, 14
First I have to tell I’m not English and try to do best to make it readeble for you.
Now the problem with my SSD-card. I have the problem for a very long time but had more places on other hdd for the Trusty system. The problems were also before February 2012 the year I started with Ubuntu and say definite goodbey to Windows (after 31-year). After every installation of a new system version, I made a clean install. But everytime the totally system (p.e. Trusty Tahr) changed from place (first hdd) to another hdd without an error message. Everytime Ubuntu was replaced from /dev/sda1 to /dev/sdc5. (before with Windows it happend with a normal hdd too). My SSD is maybe 4-years old
Now I got an extra problem because my SD-card was not found again (with 64GB digital photos), so I had to call my mount/unmount problem to a forum .
The first message below is from when I tried to unmount the SSD:
Error unmounting /dev/sda1: Command-line `umount «/dev/sda1″‘ exited with non-zero exit status 1: umount: /: device is busy.
(In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
(udisks-error-quark, 14)
I had read over the years a lot about other users with the same problems on several Ubuntu/Linux websites but didn’t find the totall solution. Today I tried «ntfsck /dev/sda1» where I got the next message.
# ntfsck /dev/sda1
Boot sector: Bad jump.
Boot sector: Bad NTFS magic.
Boot sector: Bytes per sector is 0.
Volume size is set to zero.
file record corrupted at offset 7032972744 (0x1a332a5c8).
Loading $MFT runlist failed. Trying $MFTMirr.
Failed to read file record at offset 8959136302956019712 (0x7c553f0000000000).
Loading $MFTMirr runlist failed too. Aborting.
NTFS signature is missing.
The told replacements happened now 3 times, so I have not only a ‘Ubuntu Trusty Tahr’ at /dev/sda1, but also on another internal hard disks drives (hdd). It is a nice idea to learn the working of Ubuntu, but for real I like more silents and save that energy for other places.
So who can help me, before I tell my other Ubuntu-problems; it are not more problems when I worked with Windows

[Solved] Can’t Format USB Disk in Ubuntu because of Error Formatting Volume
So I was trying to format a USB disk in Ubuntu. I used the normal way of formatting the USB. I right click on the mounted USB and clicked on format disk. It gave me the usual warning about the data loss and the next thing I saw was this error message:
Error Formatting Volume
This partition cannot be modified because it contains a partition table; >please reinitialize layout of the whole device. (udisks-error-quark, 11)
The USB disk I was trying to format was previously used as a live USB for Solus Linux. Clearly, Ubuntu wasn’t very happy about it (pun intended).
I tried using GParted. But strangely, GParted could not fix this issue despite the fact that it had fixed Error Formatting Volume in the past.
In this quick tip, I am going to show you how to fix this Error Formatting Volume issue in Ubuntu and perhaps other Ubuntu based Linux distributions such as Linux Mint.
Fix “Error Formatting Volume” in Ubuntu
You may watch this video to see how to fix this error in action:
We’ll be using Disks utility provided by Ubuntu here. Just look for Disks utility. If you are using Unity or GNOME, just search for Disks:
I am using Pop OS theme and icon so my screenshots may look different. But you can still find your way out, I know.
In the Disks application, select your USB disk. Be very sure that you have selected the USB disk you wish to format. From the top right menu, select Format Disk option.
Since it is a USB stick, select MBR partitioning like the one in the picture below:
You’ll get the usual warning about losing your data on the USB disk. Click on Format:
Once formatted, you’ll see your disk with entirely free storage:
At this point, you should also create a partition of the entire free space size here. I have used another USB disk in the below screenshots.
Format it to FAT file system.
Once you have created the partition, you’ll see that the USB is mounted immediately.
That’s it. I hope this quick post helped you to fix the “This partition cannot be modified because it contains a partition table” error while formatting the USB stick in Ubuntu Linux.

Я не могу отформатировать мой живой USB-накопитель (udisks-error-quark, 11)
Я не могу отформатировать мой pendrive (где Ubuntu был загружен как live-usb) . Всякий раз, когда я делаю, они говорят.
Этот раздел нельзя изменить, поскольку он содержит таблицу разделов; пожалуйста, заново инициализируйте макет всего устройства. (udisks-error-quark, 11)
Что делать? Я использую Диски в Ubuntu 16.04
5 ответов
Если у вас нет ценных данных на этом диске, вы можете создать новую таблицу разделов с помощью дисков Gnome, если она не нравится текущей:
Нажмите на зубчатое колесо для управления приводом и выберите «Форматировать…».
Выберите подходящий тип таблицы разделов и снова нажмите «Форматировать…». Для флеш-накопителя USB вы, вероятно, захотите «MBR/DOS» в качестве типа раздела, как на скриншоте.
Подтвердите, что вы хотите перезаписать таблицу разделов и потерять все данные на диске.
Затем создайте новый раздел и отформатируйте его.
Нажмите на кнопку со знаком below под разметкой раздела.
- подходящие границы раздела (вы, вероятно, хотите охватить все доступное пространство, которое используется по умолчанию),
- файловая система (для USB-накопителя, вероятно, FAT, exFAT или NTFS), и
Нажмите «Создать», подождите, пока создание файловой системы завершится (может быть в диапазоне минут для большого, но медленного диска), и все готово!
Лучший способ сделать это.
Это перечислит все ваши подключенные / отключенные устройства.
Найдите свое USB-устройство. вы можете проверить его с помощью утилиты Disk. В нем может быть что-то вроде
/dev/sdb1 или / dev / sdc1.
sudo fdisk / dev / sdb — если ваш USB это sdb
Команда (m для справки): d Номер раздела (1,2, по умолчанию 2):
Раздел 2 был удален.
Команда (m для справки): d Выбранный раздел 1 Раздел 1 удален.
Команда (m для справки): w Таблица разделов была изменена. Вызов ioctl() для перечитывания таблицы разделов. Синхронизация дисков.
Теперь вернитесь к Дисковой утилите, а затем отформатируйте диск, как хотите.

error unmounting /dev/sdb1: target is busy (udisks-error-quark, 14)
Can i forcibly unmount the disk without any damage happening to the pc?

You cannot unmount a partition when it’s in use. So stop whatever is using it, or at least make sure those applications no longer use that partition. Note that the partition where the currently running operating system is installed is always in use, so you cannot unmount that. If you want to resize that, use a live disk.

It’s impossible to know with the little information you have given us.
Let’s see the output of command
as I suspect you are trying to resize partitions that are mounted and/or in use.
You can not change partitions of the OS you are currently using and it is most commonly done using a live USB system.
All the *buntu family of OSs have gparted in the live USB so you can probably use the USB you used to install the system, assuming you installed it in the first place.

I wanted to make 2 partitions, one for linux, one for windows.
I have one partition rn the one for linux.
Whenever im in the windows installation i can’t make a partition out of the linux drive cuz it says that its an unknown type.
Is there a way to make a partition?
Thanks.

You don’t need to «make a partition» for Linux and certainly not from Windows. You can, from Windows, shrink Windows partitions to make room for another OS. The installer will then use that unallocated space to create the partitions it needs.

Even if you do create a partition in Windows it will probably be unusable for Linux as Windows generally creates dynamic partitions which are completely useless for Linux.
As CW says, just leave the space unallocated and the Ubuntu installer will find it and can be pointed to it very easily by using the «Something Else» option, ie, manual partitioning, when you get to that stage of installing.
