the problem is that i cant even format it ....it says no disk in drive.....also in disk management it recognises that there is a removable media but sshows no partitions and neither allows me to create a new partition . i tried partition magic too but the drive doesnt even show in there .

Try on some other machine, if works there then some issue with your machine or the pendrive has probs.

I would suggest formatting it on a different system. Also try formatting through command prompt with format command if it works. If it is not possible,

First run a disk check on it using chkdsk command. It will fix file system errors and you'd be able to format it fine then.
