    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
    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body,
    but rather to skid-in-sideways, totally worn out, shouting. "Holy sh!t.. what a ride!"

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

    Does sound a bit viral doesn't it...
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
