USB flash drive problem

    Hey all,

    I have a usb flash drive here and I can't access it.
    I can see it on my devies list and I can eject it.
    It's reading as 0 bytes free and 0 bytes used.
    I cannot format it.
    I get 'please insert a disk into drive (E:)' when I try to open it.

    Has anybody experienced a problem like this before? If so, how might one go about rectifying this.

    Cheers all,
    j

    Does the E: disappear when you plug it out? Are you sure the E: relates to the USB key? Try right clicking on My Computer->Manage->Disk Management and giving it another Drive letter.

    sounds like its fúcked tbh,
    happened mine a few months ago, i had my college administrator check it on various machines, windows, mac, linux and it just wouldn't mount, lucky for me i backup regularly so didn't loose much. just bring it back to where ever you bought it and get a new one
