I've had some one ask me to try and restore documents from a memory stick that went arroy.
Plug it in and the computer detects it but donest map it, look in the Computer managment tool, and it said the disk isn't inizalised.
If i try and initialise it i receive an error.

anyone have any thoughts other than its buggered

This is what i get when i try an initialise the disk : i didn't find the link that helpful.

an unexpected error has occurred. check the system event log for more information on the error. close tthe disk managment console, then restart disk managment or restart the computer.

Unspecified error (80004005).
