    OK. If you right-click inside the F: rectangle, is there an option called Initialise disk or similar?

    Or try and click the area to the left that says Disk 2.

    well, as you can see - nothing like that in there. even when i clicked on properties, it shows zeroes in full or empty, but by color it appears as full...

    have i really killed the disc with the killdisc?

    Mmmm. OK, one last attempt. Please try the following in a cmd window again: (note : we are using clean all instead of clean)

    diskpart
    list disk

    (make sure the 60GB is still disk 2)

    select disk 2

    (make sure disk 2 has been selected)

    attributes disk clear readonly
    clean     all

    Now check to see if the USB is empty.

    No worries. If that doesn't work, then I think that its likely that the firmware of the USB is not allowing us access, so there is nothing we can do. Only the manufacturer can fix that
