Hello fellas, i have decided to sort my camera stuff out and i have a 1gb sandisc magic gate memory stick pro duo.

It seems to be corrupt, camera doesnt read it properly computer doesnt read it.
Camera reads other cards and so does computer cardreader so its not them. Iv tried formatting it via camera and computer, and useing software from sony and sandisc websites nothing recognises its present.

Im not bothered about recovering any of the stuff off it, i just want to be able to use it. Does anyone know a way to kind of force format it (you get me

)

i asked you lot because you know your shizzle unlike the shat iv been looking at through google!

there might be more complex ways of getting the data off it or being able to fix it, but at the price of them its just as cheap to buy another from 7day shop

if it doesnt format on your camera and you have a card reader try formatting on that first and then put it back in the camera to format. if not then its screwed

There like £5 off Amazon now, but with the Card reader do you have a slot that says locked? If so make sure its not Locked.
