Just today when plugging in my U3 ClvrStuff USB Flash Drive i received the error "The Disk you inserted is not readable by this computer", i pressed Initialize and from then onwards it gradually went downhill. Both Data Rescue 3 and DiskWarrior 4 were unable to save my USB flashdisk and unfortunately i was left with having to completely reformat, a few times also on Zero Out Data.
Currently operating a MacBook Pro version 10.6.7, the problem has not gone away. One of the intermediate steps i carried out was to reformat into MacOS Extended (Journaled) and then rebuild the USB by using DiskWarrior. The Graph has reported 28/108 errors with the blue graph underneath showing an "un-optimized" disk. This was then reformatted again into FAT32 using Disk Utility. Upon ejecting and remounting the USB i always get the error:
"The disk you inserted is not readable by this computer" with the options only to Ignore and Eject.
I have checked Console and this is what comes up around the time of the error.

The SAM Multimedia errors continue and repeat for a little while until this then comes up
23/05/2011 18:53:22 kernel disk2s0: I/O error.
I am unsure what to do to prevent these errors from showing up anymore, or is there no such method to repair my USB. I am not interested in the restoring of any files or anything as i've lost them all anyway, but simply a method of stopping the problem.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
