USB-stick says: drive empty

[Jawade]

I have an USB-stick who is not readable or writable. It says:
Put a drive or other medium in it. Direct with a diskeditor a mbr
write to it fails even, drive is empty and no writeaccess. I have
admin-rights. What can I do more?

Can you tell me the manufacturer and model of the stick?

No, there is no text or label on it. It shoult be 8GB but was in
fact 4GB. The owner had used a program to resize the stick an from
that moment he was no more reachable. There is al small led on it
blickkering normal.

Well, that sounds like a spectacularly foolish thing to have done. The
logical thing, I suppose, to do would be to attempt to "resize" the
stick back to it's original geometry, if in fact you have those numbers.
It's so logical, in fact, that you've probably already tried that.

I have now the program here, it's iCreate PDx16. If I try a LLF
with it, the led on the stick lights on, but the result is the
same. With any other program (disk editor, format) there is no
access possible. I think he is good for the bin.
