Default USB flash drive space detection problems

So I picked up a 16gb Patriot xporter on sale from NCIX a few weeks back and it's great, no more clunky portable hard drive!

But I lent it to my friend as he needed one to try something with Norton Ghost.
After I got it back, my nice 16gb got reduced to 1.90gb

I figured a quick format would fix it... nope! After that didn't work I decided to investigate the problem further using disk management.

I tried re-formatting it there. Still nothing.
Then I noticed there was 13gb of unallocated space. Great, I'll just re-partition this and... it's all greyed out!

At this point I am stuck. I've tried just about everything I could think of.
Any suggestions guys??

Here's an image for clarification...
