PoyBoy Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 i have a lexar jumpdrive secure II, which has a password protected and hidden partition that I wan to delete. Ther only problem is that the drive seems to have borked a little when my old windows install wen tits up. The damn password doesnt work anymore. How the duece to I formatt the entire device, thereby removing the partions on them. In other words, I want to wipe the entire physical flash drive clean, So that I can acces the entire disk again. Any help would be greatly apreciated. P.S. I have both windows xp and SuSE 10.1 installed, If that makes any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingwray Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Linux can do it, sort of. I had a similar problem with my crucial thumb drive where i wanted to delete the protected encrypted partition, i tried a lot of things in windows no luck. Tried deleting the partition in Linux and I thought it did it but didn't, put it in XP and it was still there, however the protection had been lifted and i could format it. So just have a play around is all I can suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Zaius Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I presume you were using the manufacturers solution to password protect it? If you don't have any luck deleting the partition then check their website for recovery/fix tools. When my cheapo Rundisk drive got a bit screwed they had a utility which sorted it all out, was more of a case of the flash memory starting to die in my case though.
