Flash Pen reformatting problems

Omega

Registered
I have a USB Tomato Flash 2 GB pen drive.

I have been using it up to recently when it has started to refuse to mount.

When placing the pen in the USB port I receive a screen saying that the pen drive had been removed improperly without ejecting it first although I know that not to be the case and could only presume that the pen must have had a break in its connection with the USB port at some point.

Now every time the flash pen is inserted an error screen appears saying that the pen had been removed without ejecting it first.

What should I do to recover from this, as it seems I can not use Disk Utility to reformat the pen drive as it pops up with the same message and reports that the flash pen could not be unmounted when trying to reformat.

Any suggestions would be helpful.
