Formatting Problem on my Flash Memory

[BlackGamabunta]

hi guys! if anyone knows how to fix my problem in formatting please help...i am willing to donate 1K of my kumi to the one whose advise is effective...thanks in advance...also i will add to your rep...

if i open the properties it says there:
used space: 0 bytes
free space: 0 bytes

and windows can't format disk pops up when i try to format it...

however using ms-dos in formatting it displays:
Error in IOCTL call....

i tried to used killdisk but somehow i'm scared that i might erase my harddrive's files....

it is a 2gb flash memory though it is very cheap to buy even a higher capacity drive but what is important here is my knowledge on how to do it coz my friend said if i can do it he will give me a reward x10 of the price...

Go to its properties, then tools. Try the 'defragmentation' or the 'error-checking'

i tried disk defragmenter but to no avail..it says disk defragmentation cannot run on this drive...

 

[BlackGamabunta]

i checked the device status and it displays: the device is working properly....

also on the properties, tool, i clicked the disk check up it says: the disk check could not be performed because Windows can't access the disk...

 

[BlackGamabunta]

it is still possible to revive the flash disk????

Let me guess...SanDisk?

 

[Anduril]

go to desktop and right button the my computer and slect the Manage
then goto disk management from the options
then select the flash drive from the clicked windows..i think its may be 3rd window


and u can format ur flashdrive with the options u got from there....ok.....so just try it...

Yeah, some of them work or they'd be bankrupt, but Sandisk's are notoriously bad for failing.
