    I have HP x705W pen drive.
    I was always getting errors, if I copied anything, it would not store,
    Finally i formatted the drive, and now it shows the drive as Raw

    Diskpart shows the No media and 0 byted

    I tried using HP format too, but it says drive is protected.

    My computer is having Windows 7 ultimate, I also tried it on laptop which is windows 7 professional
    The drive gets detected and the windows notification that the drive is not formated keeps popping up (30 pop ups a minute)

    In both the drive gets detected, I can see the drive in Disk Management ( in Computer Management within control panel) but then Disk management just freezes.

    I think the HP support forum says it all. If you can't get it to work on any system it is corrupted. If it is still within warranty you might get your money back.

    Hello, Thank you for your help, whatever help you gave was good and thanks, appreciate it, HP forum said a lot, unfortunately they also need to update themselves,
    The problem is solved, What I did was go here
    http://www.pny.com.tw/index.php?mode=product_detail&PID=155

    Seems PNY does provide the support and not HP, there I went to the download Tab and downloaded
    USB Flash Driver Format Tool (Ufix-II) http://www.pny.com.tw/images/icon_save.gif
    For all capacities,

    It is a zip file and it has the exe file in it, it conducted a low level format and I got my disk back

    If anyone has the problem do ask them to go the site and get the required help

    Unfortunately HP was not much help other than the excellent support that they have but which was useless in my case
