Repair USB memory stick

Hi,

My 128Mb Hyperdrive USB2 memory stick from Hypertec contains still +/-44Mb that I can't erase.
Before it was working very fine but since a friend give it back there are still some files contains 0 bytes or sometimes 630 Gigab %-)
These files have very strangs and large names not readable.

I can still use the memory stick but only with 80Mb and not 128Mb like before. I don't know what or when something happens but I think he get the stick out of the pc while he was reading/writing.

Is it possible to repair or 'format' :-) a USB memory stick ?

Best regards,
Perjan

You should be able to format as you would a regular drive is it shows up as a lettered drive in Explorer

Hi Perjan Welcome to Windrivers
If your running XP you can format using the drive management tool.

stick it in the washer/dryer ,,,,that will get rid of all the dirty data.
