I got a Kingston Data Traveller 2.0 USB Drive (512 MB). few days ago my frend borrowed it from me and now it has become unaccessable. I cant open it, cant format it. If i check its properties it says RAW File system, when i try to open it, it pompts that drive is not formatted and when i click on format now, it says drive cant be formatted :( Tried formatting it from Command Prompt but it gave me Error in IOCTL call error. any help ?

dude he has already told that he used command line.....not working.....

@Dhruv , I suggest you to try the drive on another computer (try it on your friedns comp :D )

OR there might be some problem in ur usb mass storage and root hub drivers .


do this (reintalling usb root drivers)

1. remove your pen drive
2. right click my computer
3. go to device manager in hardware tab
4. unistall these all marked with red

5. reboot ur computer
6. plugin the pen drive
7. the drivers should be automatically be installed again .
8. now try to format it

if it doesn't works ..........do what i said first .....


Thanks
Regards.....
