Pen drive error

[ImNeat]

I just got a 64MB flash drive about a week ago.

I had been using it through Windows, OS X and linux with no problems - but today it started acting up. It doesn't show up in linux or mac (or gparted), and in windows I get the error "The disk is drive F is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?"

The first weird thing is that it's shown as only 8MB. The second is that the format always fails.

I have tried using Active Kill Disk to delete everything on the drive but that doesn't seem to do anything.

Nothing is working! Anyone have any ideas? I'd like to get this thing working again.
