I have a 2GB pendrive(Transcend make Jetflash v20 model).
Recently I pulled it out withut stopping it from one faulty laptop.
Till then, it is not functioning on any PC(I tried it over 7 PCs). It is being shown under removable disks as H: but could not be opened or formattted. Whenever I tried to open it the message displayed by the PC is "Enter a disk in the drive:"
Kindly help.

Thanks Harshit for your advice.

However, can't it be set right by any means.

It's main function is to suspend the connection between pen drive & computer, thereby cutting the electric link between them.

Pulling it out while still connected causes an abrupt interruption similar to a power surge, rendering the partition as null.

Your drive is hosed.

Thanks Mr. Old Mycroft for explaining the
reason of the problem.

Well, can't it be set right by any means.

Solid state memory chips behave totally differently to the platters within a hard disk drive - they are NOT as robust when mistreated.

You could always access the Flash drive via Disk Management: right click My Computer > click Manage > select Disk Management.

If it shows up there, you could try formatting it to Fat32. If you haven't destroyed the partition it might work.

Otherwise it's hosed, unfortunately.
