Corrupt Flash Drive
Hi,
I recently bought an 8GB USB stick. Once I was running a program off of the flash drive on a windows computer and I did not eject it properly. Now when I connect the drive to a windows computer, and try to format it, it says the drive is write protected. The disk seems to be formatted as RAW. The disk used to be formatted as FAT 32 as I was also using it for tranfering files between windows and Mac computers. When I connect to a Mac now, the disk is not recognized by Finder and only in Disk Utility. When I verify it:
It says:
Verifying volume “disk3s1”
** /dev/disk3s1
Invalid BS_jmpBoot in boot block: 000000
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.
but I can't repair or erase the disk. I don't care about the data on the drive, I just want it to work again. I will spend time on it and go for any method if you know of one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
