Is there any way to format a disk that gives this error?!?
Thanks

But before I answer tell me what format means to you. One day I was in a hurry and someone asked me to format a drive. I did that and handed it back to them in 3 minutes. Then they took it home only to call up and ask why Windows didn't boot. I had formatted the drive but their definition was that Windows would be installed too.
Ok, I can format most drives with GPARTED if Windows won't. See google.

It was a USB watch I got as a gift. It states the drive is only 8MB big and needs to be formatted. I emailed support for the product, and they said to check out a took found here:

In my experience with the few times that people have had this issue they have been able to fix it with the file located on this support page: http://www.xonixe.com/support.php click USB watches and then click on the one problem listed. There is a file you can download. i hope that helps and please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

I tried that program and another version of it, but it crashes on all my machines.
Have not had time to try gparted yet... should that work without error?
Small LCD picture frames too. Sorry but good luck with that as there appears to be a boatload of those out there that are defective.
