Ok, I own a pen drive (a chip that goes in the usb drive in your computer to put files on it) that holds up to 126 MB. Resently it been not acting properly. I 've tried to access it in the My Computer folder but it says it needs to be formatted. So I try to format it then it says it was enable to format every time I try, & i've done this on other computers & got the same results. I think a file I put on it didn't get transfured properly & corrupted it because I downloaded a program to look at your pen drive & it listed the previous files I put on it & one of the file has a "?" mark in it, & you can't use those kind of charactors in renaming a file. So what I'm getting at her is.........does anybody know any good pen drive recovert programs, more importantly a program that will delete everything on my pen drive? If I can't find any other way to fix my pen drive I'll just have to throw it away:(

i think you should just throw it away, they're cheap to buy now and you need to get a bigger storage one like 1Gb, so much more useful. and you should eject them before pulling them out of the usb as they are temperamental and will fault.

I just got a new one from my dad, its 124 MBs, I do want a 1G one but Im fine with my 124MB one for the moment.

I saw a 6G pen drive at the store Sams Club & it was only $80, I think that price could be a deal because right next to it was a 2G pen drive that was worth $60. I only I had some money:rolledeye..........

Yeah, they're getting cheaper every month. So you can get a good deal out of them
