Re: Formatting

Well, I'm not sure what you can do to it to fix it. There are some tutorials around for things like this, but when a pen asks you to do that, it usually means the file system is corrputed. Most repair attempts are going to be possibly disruptive/destructive to the filesystem - but personally - i would NOT format it, and attempt an undelete or similar job using software like GetDataBack/FileRescue which seem to be better. Try another computer otherwise.

Re: Formatting

Your flash pen is corrrupted. You can try but I have seen this before, you have to toss it or bring it back to where you bought it. The flash memory cannot read the files so they are stuck.

Re: Formatting

If you formatted any of your drives with your flash pen plugged in at the same time you messed up your directories and files on it. I never found any possible way of getting these fixed. Perhaps a unformat or undelete software could work, it may be worth a try as a last resort.
