sandisk Memory stick pro not formatting
hi

i have sandisk ultra 2 memory stick duo which worked great for 6 months when suddenly i was transfering via reader all the memory was erased. luckily i retrieved the info via program called object rescue. Now when i click the drive it says "drive needs formatting" and when i try to format it gives error saying "cannot be formatted" . ironaically object rescue still retrieves the data. I tried formatting using camera but ddint work any ideas?

Can you try formatting the stick in another computer?

sounds like maybe the stick has gone bad
