Zero UDF memtest86

[rvg90]

So i was using Memtest86 and it resized my Kingston 16gb stick to 49mb and i read i needed to use the zero udf option in the same program and format it after that to restore it, however after it is zeroed it no longer shows up as a drive, i can see it in devices and printers as DataTraveler 3.0 but i can't do anything about it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Go to Start>Run>diskmgmt.msc>Enter to start the Disk Management console. There you should be able to see you flash drive and whatever partitions it has. I believe that your best bet will be to right click on the box in the lower right of the pane corresponding to your flash drive and select "Delete Partition" for however many partitions are there. Then right click again and "Create New Partition" and follow the defaults. You will also prolly have to right click again and select "New Simple Volume" to format the new partition and assign a drive letter to it.

Good luck!

There is no option to delete it in disk management, only format and it said that drive cannot be found but after downloading HP USB tool and 2-3 other USB tools attempting format and getting failed all the time it just randomly appeared again and i was able to format it and it is working again now. Thanks for the help anyway it was driving me crazy!
