Hi, Just got a new adata 16gb 3.0 and was cloning another flash to it when the procedure got interrupted. Now the dang thing won't mount correctly in windows. Pop ups keep flying up to format it or put disk in drive, blah, blah, blah. I powered up my ubuntu and tried to straighten it out there, it is recognised but it still has trouble mounting. I'm am just a novice with linux, are there any commands I can do to wipe this thing and get it working again?
 
What was the file system on the source?
Was the source flash device mounting before you started?
Does the source flash device mount now?
What were you using to clone it with?
How far did you get in the cloning process?
Did you clone with a program that has a log file?

If you want to start over, just erase the first few sectors. But, it shouldn't matter. Just restart the clone and it will overwrite the sectors again.
