Well, since the beginning i thought I was lost, when I tried to format my memory it always said: "it's protected from re-writing.." and then someone told me about this page, and my hopes came back, I used the Hard Disk Low Level Format Tool 2.36 build 1181, and It took like 12 hours more or less, when it finally get overed, I was really happy, but when the HP Format Tool told me the same thing... I didn't know what to do, now, I'm still... kind of sad and angry, but I wanna know what can I do.... First 'cause the program reads the memory as 253mb... but it is of 1gb... please... somebody... help me out...
