Will format most USB flash drive
It can be known to recover Flash drives that are un-responsive too.


If that doesn't work try this one:

Hard Disk Low Level Format Tool

Whoa! Hold on a minute! OK. Probably longer then a minute.

But those tools are going to erase any data already written to that pen-drive (which is ok if the drive is empty but am guessing is probably not)

There are some other things to try before getting to that point

• Plug the drive directly into the computer USB port (not through a USB hub. As you may have
  => A bad hub
  => Another device attached to the hub causing problems
  => Too many devices needing power plugged into a hub
• Assign the drive a new drive letter. (is a problem if u assigned it a drive letter before but that letter currently being used by another device)
  • Click Start->Run, enter: diskmgmt.msc to start Windows Disk Management tool.
  • Does a new entry show up in the tool display when the pen drive is plugged in???
  • If yes, rt click the entry. select Change Drive Lettters and choose a letter among the choices Windows gives you
• Use a disk partitoning tool to attempt to recover deleted partitions. (fyi.. don't ask what may have lead up to it... but this was the solution i tried one time when a friend's usb drive started having the "not recognized" problem)
