Storx Flash Drive - Partitions?

I recently purchased a Storix Flash Drive (64mb) and was using it just fine. It came with some software that would apparently create a small partitioin that was password protected on the disk, and another larger public partition. I attempted to use it, but Windows locked up, and I was forced to 'End Task' it. The Flash Drive was then uncapable of even working. I've tried various things ranging from FDisking it to reusing the software, but most of the time I can only get it to recognize 315kb, and it wont even write to it. Other times it says there are 0kb of memory on it. One time (on a Mac) it said that there were two 256k partitions... none of these were writable.
At the moment, I'm my luckiest... I've somehow gotten it to recognize 31.9mb (out of 64) and it's writing to it. When running an FDISK, however, it appears to have No Active Partitions. Does anybody know how I could possibly restore the remainder of the memory in this drive?
