Sry all solution oso cannot .........some one got any ideas????

Relax...First, insert the pen drive and open My Computer. Right-click the USB drive and select Format....

If it does not allow you to format and says that the disk is write protected,
do the following-
> remove the pendrive and reinsert it and repeat the process
If this doesn't work,
> close all the applications running and again repeat the process
If this also doesn't work,
> restart the pc and continue...

Now, Select the File System that best suits your needs, and give the drive a name in the Volume label field. I would prefer NTFS. Click Start to format the drive.
Click OK on the warning window. Now the formatting will begin, once done Click OK.
Your Pen drive is now formatted.

Same cannot............ pls help me11111111111111

For such condition the best thing is to find a newly formatted operating system installed computer, and then format your pen drive by right click - format. it will work 99.9%. I had done with 3 such defected pen drives and now all of them are working well.(It happens only due to virus intrusions). ( you can format your own pc if and only if you are aware of formatting and reinstalling OS, untill or unless you don't get any other system.) :thumbup1: :whistling
