    Thumb Drive


    Are there any tools to repair thumb drives? I have a dive that will not format after I pulled it out without ejecting it.

    Exactly what method or process are you using to try to format the thumb drive.
    Could you install the thumb drive and use this tutorial to post a picture.
    Also let us know what size and brand the thumb drive is.

    Testdisk is highly regarded if you are trying to recover data from it or actually "repair" it.

    Windows is cranky about thumb drives. You may find some other formatting tool works better. I think you can google for one made by HP.

    Here is another that I have used to format thumb drives as FAT32:
