Is there a universal low level format 
utility for usb key chains a /k / a
flash drives or flash disks?
I recovered an OTi ('OURS TECH') cig@rpro 128 MB disk
 with the utility from cigarusb.com. Fine.
 
Now, not OK thanks to Norton and /or Adaptec ('Drive Preparer") in Windows
 I lost a Super Talent Flash Drive 128 MB and now
 even fdisk in Linux does not see the drive ("Unable to read")
 The vendor 067 is Prolific and they have nothing 
 expect a high level format utility ("Prolific Internet Support").
 Once Norton Disk Editor saw the drive (SCSI of course) but no more.
 The cig@r utility does not see any disk but its own.
 The transparent drive shows a Samsung K9F big chip
 and a PL-2515 03201D code.
 
 Any suggestions? The drive registers in usb view and system info
 and also in Windows My Computer ("Drive not ready").
 
 These devices have a 'security feature' so that a password 
 is needed to access (in Windows only?) but that causes
 partition problems. I did not set it up.
