Computer help
Hey guys, I need some advice on a flash drive I just got. It's a 1GB ACP flash drive and I have having some issues with it. I tried installing a bootable linux operating system to it but it failed when the program tried to format the flash drive. Now I can't get it to reformat and the thing's a piece of junk!
Whenever I try to reformat it, it gives me either a write protection error, or a "bad sector 0" error.
There is no write protection switch on the drive.
I have tried to do it through windows, using the computer manager and I have also tried the command line:
Format E: /FS:FAT32 / Format E: /FS:FAT
Not really sure what else I can do. Are there any intelligent formating programs (free of course) that could recognize a bad sector if this is what's causing this? Is there a windows xp bug / registry issue?
