This method did not work for me. I downloaded the windows98 image app and mounted that to a cd. I then booted to the cd and it fired up it said I was missing a parallel ide driver and continued with out it. I went into fdisk and preceded to follow the guide I could not delete a partition since the flash drive did not have one so I just created skipped that step and created a new logical partition on the drive. After almost an hour of verifying the device it asked me if I wanted to use the whole device I hit yes then waited another hour or so for that to verify and got to the final screen showing me the drive has a primary dos partition on it. But when I went into w7 to try and reformat the drive I was unable and the drive still shows flat 0's for free space, used space, and total space. A side note I forgot to mention before each disk integrity verification took over an hour.
Do you know of any other methods I can use to fix this issue with my flash drive? Or if I made a mistake please point it out and I will retry your guide.
