bai, we have the same problem ... i use this guide from other forum

I have a USB Sandisk cruzer mini 1GB. Disk management says it's unreadable and when trying to format gives "ERROR IN IOCTL call."

I did what Whodunit said and now it worksÂ*
1. download and run killdisk:

http://download2.lsoft.net/killdiskfloppysetup.exe

2. boot from floppy and choose option 3 to load usb, then will ask you to insert your usb drive, then to type killdisk
3. i got a small error and chose ignore, write zeros to usb drive took me 5min 45sec
4. shut down. remove usb drive. turn on computer, and insert usb drive when windows loaded
5. ran hp usb format utility

Â* Â*chose fat for file system and that's it.

Notes:
i don't think the hp utility is crucial...after i used killdisk i noticed my system didn't take a long time to recognize my jump drive (which it was doing when it wasn't working) but it's a nice utility. if the file gets moved the hp site is

careful lang sa format .. make sure you select the correct drive letter sa imong flash drive

hope this helps
