IBOX Proton 4GB USB drive keeps crashing!!

Options
HI guys - ive got a IBOX proton 4GB USB drive - problem is its got around 148MB worth of files on it - and id really like to back-up some of my current PC files onto it.
Everytime I plug the USB drive in, it opens up and when I select the files to delete - the drive freezes and crashes.
Ive tried a few times but no luck.
Is there any programs out there that will just flush out the drive and restore it to working condition?

cheers

    Have you tried formatting it?

    welll sometimes I plug it into the PC - and it makes the noise on WIndows that a USB device has been plugged in HOWEVER it doesn't show up on my computer :S
    the blue light on the USB is on though its v. baffling
    So at the moment I can't even try and format it - as the PC hasn't picked it up after 5 goes, even thought it worked the first time today
