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.

I cannot find any low level formatters to reset the disk label, geometry, etc. so I can high level format. > > > Thanks for your time, > Regards, > Nido
