Original Sin said:
I have a SanDisk 256mb storage device and recently it stopped working after trying to transfer some files over to it. When I connect it to my PC, it detects it but when I try to open it it says "please insert USB mass storage device into Drive: S" and under device manager it labels it as "unreadable" and that it has a volume of 0mb.

Is there any way to reformat it so it works?

Try Testdisk and see if it can find the partition. Used it at work to recover a bunch of backed-up ghost images on a 120GB USB drive, saved quite a bit of time and hassle. The only thing wrong with that disk was the partition table, all the data was fine. Still using that disk today.

YOU ARE AMAZING!!!

It worked, after analysing the disk, it allowed me to reformat it.

Thank you so much BlueCube!
