Exactly. Neither can I I. Once Norton Disk Editor saw the 
thing but Adaptec Drive Prepare (Win98se) and Norton went 
nuts. Maybe i did an "extended partition" and NO primary. 
This may have been wrong. The low level recover utility 
from www.supertalentflash.com does NOT see the disk at 
all. Gparted fails "cannot read". Everybody at the linux 
users list is concerned about cat /proc/devices/usb. 
All we need is something to read the scsi bus. By the way 
my new Asus P800C-E deluxe that just came out SEES the 
STFI as just that. There may be some hope from the mother b 
itself. 
Well, there you have it. I did recover a cigar usb. They 
have a better web site too.

> Unfortunately, I am suffering from the same issue where 
my SuperTalent USB 2.0 512MB flash device is now no longer 
responsive... fdisk, gparted fail on it, since there's no 
partition table - gparted says the label is wrong, but 
can't fix it.

Device" instead of a disk... so I can't use any tools 
(like CompuApps OnBelay) to erase the blocks...

find any low level formatters to reset the disk label, 
geometry, etc. so I can high level format.
