    Formatted USB Flash.

    A co worker told me that he tried to format his 512 MB Lexar USB Flash drive and it doesn't work now...
    I tried it on may different machine, different OS but it says drive unreadable.
    Has any one else ever heard of it. Is there a fix? Drive Icon does come up but it is not recognized as Lexar media.
    Thanks.

    Try this USB format utility. I use it for making bootable flash drives, but it might be able to recover one too. BTW - It works on any brand drive.

    Thanks a lot GHSTECH. It works fine after the format. I have been looking for a utility like that to make bootable USB, I have not tried it yet, but I will.
