Trouble with my USB Key

Expand Post »
Long time no post!

OK... here is the sitch..

I have a 256 2.0 USB Flash drive.

I have been saving teachers things on it and I went to access it, and it says that it needs to be formated. I know that if I do that, I will loose everything.

Well, after kicking myself in the butt for several hours, I decided that I should just format the thing and get it over it. But I can't format it!

That is something that I don't get.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Nope. We are an all Windows campus.

Knowing the brand wouldnt really make a difference. Just contact the company that made it and they should make a trade. It happened several times to a friend of mine.
