I am not able to access the pen drive. The OS recognizes the pen drive but when i click on the removable disk I get a popup message "Please insert a disk to the drive(by specifying the drive letter)". I guess this is the problem with the Pen drive I am using because I get the same message if I try in different systems. Is there any solution to correct my pen drive. I tried formatting it but was not able to format. Also the size of the Pen drive says 0 B(but the actual memory is 1 GB)

Any help in this regard is appreciated.

Try Low Level Format.

HP drive key boot utility or hddguru's tools.

The link between the flash memory chip and its drive is broken… so no communication between the memory, so it’s showing 0 Bytes and only detecting the drive with no memory I guess…. Did you handled it carelessly?? If it is under warranty then do some job or else wait for other posts.
