Please Mates, i need a solution to this problem.
I have been using a 2GB kingston flash drive that has been serving me for some years now, all of a suden my windows kept on displaying a message-"Format device before use". I kept on ignoring it and then i finally decided to format it following this approach:
-click on format
-check the quick format box and finally
-click on start
But the flash wouldn't format.
My question is, what other way can i format this flash drive and probably use a file recovery software to recover my documents in the flash cos my file recovery software cannot access the documents in my defaulted file.
 
Try control panel>search 'partition'>click 'create and format hard disk partitions'(your screen
should look like the picture I provided)>right click 'format' or just delete the whole partition and
make a new one.
