Memory stick problem. Can it still work?

Question

Hi, my memory stick was corrupted by viruses somehow. I've removed the viruses and now i can only open it but cant copy anything into or out of it. It says the files are corrupted or unreadable. Its even refusing to be formatted.

Does anyone know of any software i can download for free so that i can completely wipe it clean or the stick can never work anymore?

Answer 1

just reboot ur computer thats the great thing about ram when they get infrected U can easily remove it by rebooting when the computer shuts down or reboot it always clears the RAM so mabe its something and not the RAM

O try a program call magic partition and see if it would formatt that bad boy

Answer 2

google for a 'low lever format' tool (or try the manufacturers web site for a format or 'engineering' tool)
