Instead of going for the reimaging/reformatting voodoo, you should troubleshoot your original problem using the tools suggested here by the people trying to help you.
It's usually all that works for us. The troubleshooting will help with minor things, but when the robot is turned off mid format? Nothing else would help. Heck, the troubleshooting tools wouldn't even detect the roboRIO.
