Weird USB flash drive problem. by manxmania 2006-07-26 00:39:08
An employee brought his 128MB flash drive to me to "fix". Shows up in Win2K as G: - 117MB (FAT) and K: - no media??? He doesn't know how it "partitioned itself" (yeah right) and I can't un-partition it. Disk Management option to delete partion is greyed out.

Any ideas? Partition Magic Pro 7.0 doesn't see the drive.
