Here's my Story :: QUOTE Story ::
A was installing WinXP on PC
B's Flash Drive (FD) was in the USB Slot.
While the WindowsXP Setup is partitioning, 'A' realised that the light on the FD was blinking .. indicating activity so he plucked it out immediately.
Now 'B's FD is corrupted .. I recovered almost all the data from the corrupted FD using Ontrack's EasyRecovery 6.0 .. It is the most amazing software ever developed .. it could virtually recover all data in a drive that had been formatted ..
Alright .. now is the headache .. there is no way that I could get the drive to work normally .. it was detected by WinXP but cannot be read .. worst .. I can't format it .. Tried to use Partition Magic to format but it can only detect HDDs .. can't think of an other ideas .. Hope someone can help suggest some :: 1) Software 2) TEchnic to solve this problem .. Thanks * Found the Solution in another forum :: 1) Clik on "START" 2) Move Cursor to "My Document" 3) Right Clik (clik on the right button on the mouse) 4) A Menu will drop down .. choose "Manage" .. .. A new window will appear .. 5) Clik on the "+" left of "Storage" 6) Clik on the "+" left of "Disk Management" .. .. The right Panel will show all the Drives 7) Clik on your thumb drive (The words "Removable" will be there) 8) Right Clik and choose .. Oops I forgot .. something that is along the line of adding or creating a partition .. 9) Choose accordingly .. if in doubt .. just choose the default option .. .. Yippeee .. Finally contributed something useful .. and also this will be my 10th post ..

Would you care to recall & come back and fill up the 8th and 9th steps with the precise instructions ?? That would be a lot more helpful for the readers.

QUOTE(microscopic^earthling @ Feb 9 2005, 02:50 PM) Would you care to recall & come back and fill up the 8th and 9th steps with the precise instructions ?? That would be a lot more helpful for the readers. I can field this. First off, you went the long way to get into the computer management section. 1. Go to control panel 2. Select Administrative tools 3. Select Computer management 4. Select Disk manager. 5. Find your disk. If your partition was corrupted, a way to repartition it is by deleting the corrupted partition (if it's necessary or possible) and then using disk manager (yes, by right clicking on the drive you're working on) and selecting New Partition. This will go through the processes of partitioning the thumb device. If there's anything that you can try to salvage, I suggest doing it first. If you can't, you can use a file recovery system. Afterwards, I suggest formatting the device. You can do this on Disk Manager (right next to Add New Paritition), or you can go through My Computer and format it by right clicking on the device, and selecting format.

"Yosho-sama" - you went the long way also. To get to device management just simply right click on "My computer & select "manage" from there you have skipped going to control panel, administrator options & yada yada yada - - - Hope this helps someone at least with some time.

why don't you use TestDisk. I use it a lot. QUOTE
TestDisk is a powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting a Partition Table). Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.
TestDisk can :
* Fix partition table, recover deleted partition
* Recover FAT32 boot sector from its backup
* Rebuild FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 boot sector
* Fix FAT tables
* Rebuild NTFS boot sector
* Recover NTFS boot sector from its backup
* Fix MFT using MFT mirror
* Locate ext2/ext3 Backup SuperBlock
TestDisk has features for both novices and experts. For those who know little or nothing about data recovery techniques, TestDisk can be used to collect detailed information about a non-booting drive which can then be sent to a tech for further analysis. Those more familiar with such procedures should find TestDisk a handy tool in performing onsite recovery.
Read more at http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
And the best fact is that it is an opensource software. There's also Photorec to recover your files. They're all can work on flash/thumb drive

Also, might I add (even though this has already been solved), another tool to try is GParted (it is a linux application, and you can download a liveCD with just it, for the purpose of managing partitions) Although I am not 100% sure if it works with flash drives, the download isn't too bad, and it works really well on all partition types (plus it can resize partitions for you). The website is: http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/Just thought i would add this, since gparted supports so many types of partitions, and so many more features than the windows partition manager thing.

With Wubi The Hard Drive Does Not Have To Be Repartitioned Before The Ubuntu Installation
(2) Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows that lets you install and uninstall Ubuntu from a Windows
desktop. Wubi adds an entry to the Windows boot menu which allows you to run Linux. Ubuntu is
installed within a file in the Windows file system (a loopmounted partition), this file is seen by
Ubuntu as a real hard disk. That way the hard drive does not have to be repartitioned before the
Ubuntu installation. The resulting Ubuntu installation is a "real" Linux system, not just a virtual
machine. Wubi makes it easy for Linux newbies to play around with Ubuntu. http://wubi-i....
Beautiful Technology At Work - Inside A Hard Drive, While It's Running
(4) Newer drives intentionally lower the armature/actuator speed to decrease noise, which can sometimes
affect drive performance, but to be honest, I kind of miss hearing the click-click-click of the days
of old. Besides, if you can't hear the drive, it also means you can't hear the drive
failing; the noise produced by most hard drives is meaningful and useful.

Pen Drive Ram On Windows Vista
Features on Windows Vista (13) I recently viewed the homepage of Windows Vista on Microsoft's site. It says that Windows
Vista can use a pen drive (USB 2.0) as additional RAM to speed up the memory. My question
is that we use RAM because the hard disk is SLOW. We do have a swap file, but we don't use it
much because it slows down performance! So, how can it be that the USB Pen drive be as fast as
the RAM? Its max. speed is just 153.3kbps So won't that be slow too? How can that act as
additional RAM? Is Microsoft trying to fool innocent buyers? This is outrageous&....
