Re: My memorex usb 2.0 4gb traveldrive is reading as full...
You can reformat it by opening up My Computer, right-clicking on the drive, and clicking format. I recommend formatting your drive as NTFS as it will give you an option.

you can send it off to one of those companies that specialise in data recovery if not all you can do is reformat :(
That is why they are secure ..... sorry :(
There are programs specifically designed to do that. I can't give you specifics but just do a quick google and you should find it. Also, if those don't work, you should bring it to a data recovery service center which they will do it for you. It really depends on the severity of corruption
The disk-drive inside the enclosure is malfunctioning.
Disassemble the enclosure, and remove the disk-drive.
Take the drive to any computer store, and buy a compatible drive -- same size, same interface (SATA? IDE?).
Then "transplant" it into the enclosure,
to "reconstitute" your external storage device.
Step one is try it on another computer. This will seperate issues....is it the drive or the USB port (hardware or software actully in both cases are possible. Step two, if it works elsewhere, is to check under device manager, and reinstall the driver (if not embedded in the drive which most are)....both USB and the disk. Step three is to download (again assuming it did not work) the disk diagnostics from Memorex (most drive manufacturers have a host of utilities and they may exist even for flash drives - they use them internal to their mfg operations as well). Check to see if it's good. It is possible that it just lost the embedded driver by the way in which case you need to put it back on the drive...haven't done that but assume it's possible and available.
Can give you more "stuff" to do but this will probably solve the problem....and I am guessing it died. If it did they are not expensive...and even cheaper if you really don't need 4 gb...few people do for personal and even work data. Check at pricewatch.com (not a seller) for pricing.
