Now this is an interesting problem. It does not seem logical that a Win virus
can cause this. There are a couple of possibilities -
1. The virus is at a lower level than 'autorun' - extremely unlikely.
2. My guess is that the drive itself is faulty - not easy to verify.
3. Something else which I can't begin to understand.
Try googling to see how you can 'reset' flash drives. We could wave strong
magnets over previous generation of hard disks - is there something equivalent
for flash drives?
Thanks,
