Is there a universal low level format
utility for usb key chains a /k / a
flash drives or flash disks?

I recovered an OTi ('OURS TECH') [EMAIL PROTECTED] 128 MB disk
 with the utility from cigarusb.com. Fine.

Now, not OK, thanks to Norton and /or Adaptec ('Drive Preparer") in Windows,
 I lost a (different)  STFI Flash  Drive 128 MB and now
 even fdisk in Linux does not see the drive ("Unable to read")
 The vendor 067 is Prolific and they have nothing
 except a high level format utility ("Prolific Internet Support").
 Once Norton Disk Editor saw the drive (SCSI of course) but no more.
 The [EMAIL PROTECTED] utility does not see any disk but its own.
 The transparent drive shows a Samsung K9F big chip
 and a PL-2515 03201D code.

 Any suggestions? The drive registers in usb view and system info
 and also in Windows My Computer ("Drive not ready").

 These devices have a 'security feature' so that a password
 is needed to access (in Windows only?) but that causes
 partition problems. I did not set it up.
