USB Quick Drive

[fs1]

Hi,

I have a 1GB USB Quick Drive from Micro Advantage that hasn't been used all that much and is about seven months old. I was copying some data the other day and I got a data corruption error. I could not access the drive after that and ended up ejecting it and rebooting. I was at that time able to access the drive, but cannot delete the copied data that I have on the drive. I have tried to format the drive through Windows and also the dos prompt, but can't. I get a I/O error. Any sugggestions on how I can get this drive formatted? Thanks for any help.

Sometimes there are utilities at the web site of the maker. have you searched there?

Are you using a USB 1 or USB 2 Port?

I ended up ejecting the device, rebooting and was able to see the device. I still coudn't access the data on it, so I fragmented the drive and was able to successfully delete the corrupt data on the drive. Thanks for the help!
