Re: USB drive is not formatted

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Todd,
I concur with what "R. McCarty" wrote in his reply to your post.
However, I would also like to add, for future reference, that WinImage.exe
(free) can record the entire contents of a 'pen drive' and store it on your
computer as an 'image file', similar to an cd-rom image .ISO file. This can
be used to back-up and restore your data on a USB 'memory stick' or restore
the data to a new 'memory stick' should the 'pen drive' fail altogether.
This is useful if you like to take around your favourite software with
you on a 'pen drive' for instance, diagnostic software for the purposes of
checking clients PC's for errors or viruses.
It takes time to gather a collection together and using this method, you
don't need to be without it for very long, even if you needed to buy an
entirely new drive.

My father has a Windows XP home machine that is giving him a "drive is not
formmated" error whenever he tries to access data on his USB pen drive.
This
drive was working for 6 months and then just started giving him this
message.
Any ideas? Driver? Registry hack?
