english and sentences are a very good tool if you wish people to understand your problem & bother to reply.
if you can't be bothered to type it correctly, why should people be bothered to reply:lol3:

i will guess you have a USB memory stick & that it is no longer recognised by windows when you try to explore it's contents?

try running chkdsk *: /v /f [where * is it's assigned drive letter.]
you can get to the tools menu by right clicking on the drive letter under my computer.

if it still shows the unformatted error, then check the makers website for any utitilities, you need to recover the FAT table or the Master Boot Record.

there are other utilities you could try by searching on yahoo.

9/10 times though, it is dead and time for a new one, they aren't expensive.
