    Anyone know if there's any way of recovering a flash drive ?

    I have a 2GB one that reports as unformatted in windows, but when I go to format it it says it can't complete the format.

    Not sure whats on it & not too bothered, just want to try to use the drive again.

    You can use a program like recuva to check for data on the disk, afterwards format it.

    google for smart recovery. Its a free app that will probably do the job as long as its only the FS that borked.
