I got a 512 MB Kingston Data Traveler 2.0. But the problem im facing with it is that i cant open it, cant format it. I tried formatting using Windows and got Error in IOCTL call. I heard such usb drives can be formatted in linux. Btw this happened in GPARTED.

Download the HP format tool and then format it with that. You can find it here. Please note this functions on Windows. *files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197
