my flash first of all showed in raw format showing 0 bytes. wen i double click on it it says format it but wen i format it doesn’t show any thing. when i right click and press open it says inser dik or invalid disk. before that it showed I/O errrors wen i tried to copy something from it. ?
Did you do a full format on the flash drive using file system “FAT”? Not the FAT32. Otherwise they may be bad sector occur in the flash drive due to improper way of unplug from your computer. You may try scandisk on your flash drive after that. Hope this will fix it.

HELPPPP!
I guess this is a hardware issue. Did you drop your flash drive? Did you try putting in another usb port? Do it recognize on another computer? There is many possibilities for not able to recognize your flash drive. Maybe your USB driver in windows is corrupted. If all this is not the causes then there is high chances that your flash drive is damaged and cannot be repaired.
