Hello,

Try this 1

FS stands for the "File System"(FAT32 or NTFS)

If your want to format your drive from the command prompt specifying the file

system then enter the follow command in the command prompt

Here I assume your drive letter as G

format /FS:FAT32 G: ---> Press Enter.

Good Luck

The new file system is FAT32.

Invalid media or track 0 bad- disk unusable "".

Try formatting using the hp usb formal tool. If the problem still exists then let me know the pen drive brand name and its size.
