USB protected by a utility software and unable to format?

Q. I am trying to create a system recovery USB flash drive, on windows 7. The "error" message says that: DataSafe has detected that the USB key you have selected is protected by a utility software; we are unable to format this key. Is there anything I can do to the NEW $40 16 GB USB ScanDisk to make the program accept it??
Is there any way to do this without linux?

A. i think your datas are protected by some way
i dont know about windows 7 i have used it once or twice it really sucks
i am using XP with linux so if my usb got stuck
i switch to ubuntu
open the external drive and change the file permission
then switch back to windows xp
do the file operation

Can you see the contents of an external hard drive after its been unplugged?
Q. I had an external hard drive loaded onto my computer, but it dropped and died. I want to review what was on there (filenames, not contents, obviously) to see if its worth sending to data recovery.

Is there some way to see that? The folders were visible on my computer at one time, and I haven't shut it off or cleared the RAM. Any ideas?

Thanks, I'd really appreciate it.

A. with compupic pro i am being able to do that
but i erases after you disconnect a drive, as an usb memory pof a hard drive.
And cenatek's ramdisk is able to load all of a program into memory, that it means that kind of things its possible.
The problem is how to take data bak from memory to hard disk. Its like when you rise the buffer on winamp, you place a cd, load the winamp buffer (eg. 55000kb) and then expulse the cd and the music still is playing on winamp.
I was looking many time ago a software like that and nothing appears yet.
Someone must be wonking on it at any place but at least someone is doing it, im sorry i can't help more.
