Repair Garmin GPS (just like a usb drive)

    Hi.
    I have a Garmin Nuvi 250 GPS. I tried to load a new map onto the internal memory, but there wasn't enough room even after i deleted the old map. So I started to delete unnecessary files to try to make it fit (I did backup everything on my laptop).

    When I realised the new map would never fit, i decided to just format the memory and copy eveything back on. Unfortunately, the cable was pulled just after the formatting started. Now when i turn on the Garmin, it tries to start, beeps, then restarts, beeps, restarts etc. continously!!

    I'm not sure if the formatting error caused the problem, or if i deleted some important files. The problem now is that the Garmin keeps restarting, so it won't connect to my laptop. I can't see it as a drive in windows - so even though i have all the original files, i can't put them back on!!

    If i hold the Garmins "on" button - it continously tries to reset itself - this causes it to become visible in Device Manager (correct Garmin GPS driver is installed) for a few seconds. But then it dissapears again!
    I've run out of ideas at this point. I don't care about any of the files on it, i just need to format it and get it recognised as a drive in windows.

    Any tekies out there? Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
