| 798392 | 2009-08-05 09:00:00 | I had the same thing happen to me. Had my flash drive in copying things off it from school and my brother was in a mood and pulled it out. Now when I put it in it tells me to format it which I do and it says its is 8mb meant to be 512 so I format it and then it brings up an error message saying it was unable to format. Any way to get it back to working? Tried linux? |

| 798393 | 2009-08-05 09:13:00 | so you burn it to a cd, and then plug the defunct drive in to your pc, open the iso and ? it can see the usb drive that the computer cant? and then go ahead and format it? | agatornz (9898) | ||
| 798394 | 2009-08-05 09:17:00 | You need to boot from the CD, then format the drive, yep. Don't format the wrong one!:p | Blam (54) | ||
| 798395 | 2009-08-05 09:43:00 | ok so i got the file and burned as an image to the cd... so then what.. am i assuming that you can then run the program from the image and it will recognise all the drives even the usb on the pc cant see... |

| 798397 | 2009-08-05 12:23:00 | You shouldn't need to use GParted. Just running disk management (type 'diskmgmt.msc') should allow you to see the drive (even if the filesystem is corrupted) and reformat it. |
