I think it's a firmware issue. You should do the following:
1. Go to this site and download it (it's in Chinese but just click Chip Genius)

2. Open that software (with your flash drive plugged in) and get chip info..

3. Take note of the VID and PID items

4. Go to this site and put the VID and PID items as requested and press search

5. It will put you some results, chose your flash drive related and download it

6. If you can't download it, just copy the name, paste in Google or other search engine and download it.

7. Unrar it and flash the drive

:doh: A return merchandise authorization (RMA) or return goods authorization (RGA) is a part of the process of returning a product in order to receive a refund, replacement, or repair during the product's warranty period. :eek:

The purchaser of the product must contact the manufacturer (or distributor or retailer) to obtain authorization to return the product. :lol:

Maybe it's your ISP related block or issue

What we need to do is wipe the contents of the drive so we can re-partition and re-format it again, but to do this we obviously cannot use Windows! One method is to boot to WinPE and run Diskpart. If you have a Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer or Recovery DVD then you can easily boot to WinPE and fix it as follows:
  1. Remove the USB drive from the computer
  2. Reboot the Win7/Vista computer and before it starts to boot to Windows again, keep pressing and releasing the F8 key until you see a text menu appear - then choose the Repair option.
    If you do not see a menu or you do not have the Repair option in the menu, you must boot from the Recovery DVD instead.
  3. Once booted and you have entered your account password, choose the Command Console/Prompt option.
  4. You should now be at the WinPE command prompt - usually white text on a black background with a command prompt displayed (e.g. X:\Windows\System32> ).
  5. Type DISKPART and then LIST DISK
  6. Now insert the rogue USB drive into the USB port of the computer, wait a few seconds and type LIST DISK again - you should now see the USB drive listed as well as other drives.
  7. Now type SELECT DISK X (where X is the drive number of your USB drive that was listed in step 6) e.g. SELECT DISK 1
  8. Type LIST DISK again and make sure the * is next to your USB pen drive as we are about to wipe it.
  9. Now type CLEAN (WARNING: BE VERY SURE you have selected the correct disk number in step 7 or you could wipe your hard drive instead!)
  10. Now type WPEUTIL REBOOT to reboot your computer

Job Done!
