how to fix my corrupted usb drive
I have an 8gb Kingston datatraveler SE9. I copied a 900mb video into it and now it is not working properly.
1) if I connect the usb to my laptop it will get connected as usual and I can see the video file in it but I can't play it, then the system will recommend for a "scan and fix" , once I scan the usb it is lost ,I can no longer see the video file and properties show 0 bytes and no free space,
2) if I format the usb then "windows was unable to complete the format"
3) I tried formatting the usb using usb format tool but then it showed "the disk is write protected"
I removed write protection using cmd, regedit but it then also the format tool showed the same error
4) I tried diskpart to clean the usb but "diskpart has encountered an error the media in the drive may have changed"
I think my usb can be fixed but I don't know how. please help
