Thanks Mickey..............

some virus may not allow format in windows.
if that is the case, start your computer in DOS mode
change to the drive for pendrive
use "attrib -a -s -h *.*" command
use "erase *.*" command

if it still persists

you may have to find a linux live disk or someone using a linux system
