    USB stick suddenly stopped working


    I was copying some files to my USB stick. Suddenly, the copy action failed and the USB stick disappeared from This PC.

    Now, when I plug it in:
    - It shows up in Devices and Printers (as Intenso Speed Line)
    - It shows up in Device Manager (as USB Mass Storage Device, with an error: This device cannot start. (Code 10) )
    - It does not show up in Disk Management
    - It does not show up in Explorer

    I have tried:
    - Rebooting
    - Plugging it into a different computer
    - Plugging it into different USB ports.
    - Running the Troubleshooter
    - Reinstalling the USB drivers
    None of this changes anything.


    I understand that it may be physically broken somehow; but is there anything I haven't tried yet? It's a pretty good USB stick so I would like it work again.

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Installing windows off of a USB stick

    Step By Step from vista:
    From admin cmd prompt

    1a. list disk
    2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    6. active

    xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk
