Hey guys,

I used to run Pendrive Linux on my Sandisc 8gb cruzer USB key, until a fatal error occured in persistant mode. Since then I have not been able to boot that drive. It only displays some very funky characters. So funky, I don't no how to replicate them. When I hit enter, it reboots, everything else does nothing.
I have tried Pendrive, suse, Ubuntu 64bit (Hardy and Ibex), and Ubuntu 32, but they all have the same issue. Could this be a bad sector, or something, on the drive itself? I have formated it to EXT2, EXT3, FAT and NTFS.
Any Thoughts?
