Hey guys, i just got my ScanDisk Cruzer Blade 16gb pendrive from amazon.co.uk and i plugged into my pc, installed the drivers, then it comes up with, "You need to format the disk in drive F: before you can use it."

I tried formatting it and it says, "Windows was unable to complete the format." Any ideas?

Thanks

I did a bit of research for you, and from the information that I gathered, the drive is most likely corrupted, and, unfortunately unusable.
 
Yeah i think the drive is dead,I was getting that with my old 4gb pendrive and it never would format again.

Ive just recently purchased a ScanDisk Cruzer Blade myself to replace the dead one i mentioned above,Exept mines the 8GB version...formatted fine.

I suggest returning it :)
 
Thanks for the help guys, i've just sent it off to Amazon this morning asking for a refund and purchased a different one.

Thanks again :good:
