I've had two cheapie flash drive from Microcenter, and they booth out-of-the-blue became unformatted. When you insert then in the USB drive, windows says "The drive is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?" And then it can't actually format it.
Nothing happened to them physically. For one, it 'died' during a reset, and the other, it was normal and then it was dead once when I inserted it, IIRC.
What's the deal? Are these just cheap, crappy drives, or what?
Answer
I've had the same experience with some cheap flash drives in the past. I could never find a way to recover them, finally they went to dump. If you have the invoice and certificate of warranty, I think you can return it. The other and quickest way is to curse the manufacturer, and chuck the crappy drive out.
