Thread: USB mem. stick won't format

I have a usb memory stick and need to format it, but no matter what OS I use to try and do it, it freezes. Is it completely broken, or is there a way to format it?

How old is it? It's probably hosed. You can try to disk check it, but they don't last forever.

It's a year or 2 old, i think. Anyway have bought a new one with a funny sliding cap so am happy now.

I wrote a little about USB flash disk. I think it will helpful.
