I'm having problems switching between Windows and Linux based systems.
I programmed my mbed using Windows and the mbed worked successfully. Then I tried to use it on a Linux based system with some results. Then when switching back to Windows the computer would not recognise the mbed and suggested i format the disk.
Is there a fix for this problem?
EDIT: I tried the things on the deadmbed page with no luck.
When I plug in the mbed in the Windows machine the it sees the removable drive but a prompt comes up asking me to format the drive. Accessing it is not possible (it just says please insert a disk into removable drive) and formatting fails halfway through. Files cannot be copied over to the mbed. When I'm trying to access the mbed the blue light flashes.
Any ideas?

While I wouldn't consider your mbed "dead", you may well find some useful tips on the cookbook page deadmbed.
Trying a different USB cable is definitely worth a shot. If you're stilling having problems please edit your question with the results of the tests on the deadmbed page.
