Bryan,
If no one on MHFs can help that's what I will do, trouble is if I go and buy another sod's law comes into practice and loads of people will come on telling me of the simple solution to the problem, oh well then I will have two memory sticks

I'm unclear on what your problem is. It seems you successfully deleted the security software which was what you wanted to do. Do you now want it back again, or have I lost the plot?

Dave,
When I select the 1Gig pen drive in 'My Computer' then right mouse click 'properties' the pie chart shows the pen drive as empty with a capacity of 1.95mb instead of somthing like 1,000mb.
If re-installing the software will fix it then I will reinstal thats if someone can supply me with it.
Or if anyone can tell me how to get the sticks memory from 1.95mb back to 1Gig I will go with that.
The 0.05 gig is the units firmware. It tells it that it's a pen drive rather than a sandwich toaster. Even straight from the packet you dont get the full 2 gig because of this

Dave, Immediatly I'd removed the security software or what ever it was I noticed that ALL the 30 folders contaning photographs that I had backed up had gone.
I then went to the location I'd backed up the folders and tried to copy them to the 1Gig pen drive, within seconds I got a 'No more space' message.
I then formatted the 1Gig pen drive which is where I am today.

I'd do a low-level format. I have utilities on my Pocket PC to do this to CF or SD cards plugged in. From a Windows desktop a utility such as this would do:

I inadvertantly re-formatted my 2GB USB drive. I had left it in a slot while re-formatting the main computer drive and the PC saw it as just another hard drive and re-formatted it.. When I had finished the PC refused to even recognise the USB drive and Windows would not format it. Eventually found a small program by Hewlett-Packard using Google, which was to make an H-P USB drive "Bootable" My USB is not an H-P but this small program worked for me and formatted the USB drive which now works ok.
