I have a SanDisk 256mb storage device and recently it stopped working after trying to transfer some files over to it. When I connect it to my PC, it detects it but when I try to open it it says "please insert USB mass storage device into Drive: S" and under device manager it labels it as "unreadable" and that it has a volume of 0mb.

Is there any way to reformat it so it works?

Try Testdisk and see if it can find the partition. Used it at work to recover a bunch of backed-up ghost images on a 120GB USB drive, saved quite a bit of time and hassle. The only thing wrong with that disk was the partition table, all the data was fine. Still using that disk today.
