Transcend flash drive recovery

On one occasion, I tried using the Win2Flash utility to create Windows 7 bootable USB flash drive. By copying directly from the DVD instead of a copy in the hard drive, I somehow rendered my Transcend USB flash drive unusable. Sure, Windows could still detect the flash drive, it appears in Windows Explorer but it couldn’t read from it nor could I reformat it again to a usable state. I even tried to tinker with its properties in Computer Management. No luck, it seems.

I searched online for anything that I might be able to do to make my flash drive usable again and I came across links for data recovery of flash drives. However, that is not what I wanted. There are no data that needed to be saved, I just wanted the flash drive to work again. After some sifting through the searches, I came across a forum wherein someone has the same problem. The solution, it seems, is to download Transcend’s Online Recovery utility. It seemed to describe what I hope to achieve.

The utility can be downloaded from this website: http://www.transcend-info.com/Support/DLCenter/DLSoftware.asp?ID=4&Func1No=3&Func2No=205&LangNo=0
