USB Pen Drive dead

Expand Post »
Hi all. I have a dead pen drive on my hands. It is a Sony MicroVault (USM128U2), and it only is recognized as a "security device" by windows (with do drivers available . . . ) I cannot even mount it under linux. I have spent hours googling around for info, but to no avail. Does anybody know of a way to flash a usb device? or are there some "Security Device" drivers that I can use? Help? Thanks a bunch.

Re: USB Pen Drive dead

What about the software that came with it? There may be some utilities to reformat it for you. Though I have a bad feeling that it's borked. I have something like yours which has private publc partitioning and if the whole drive is private you might think it's broken.
