need help resurrecting usb flash drive
i've got a problem with a 16 gig ocz rally flash drive.
i plug it into my computer, and it just sits there with the light flashing away. it doesn't show up in explorer, but the 'safely remove hardware' icon does appear in my taskbar, but nothing happens when i click it.
when i unplug the drive, the 'safely remove hardware' now becomes responsive and shows this:
i've tried this drive with various flavours of windows, and a couple of linux distros in several computers, but with no luck.
before i throw the drive in the bin, is there anything else i can try?
i'm not interested in the data on the drive - i just want to reformat it somehow so i can use it in the future.
