wat make u mean? well I made that pendrive a windows reset password disk nd my pendrive is transcend 8gb! I downloaded that script from pogostick and it has kept its label as PASSCAPE I cant even change the label. and it is in the healthy and active state but cant b unmounted and formatted...and it has some features like:
Press enter to boot, or give linux kernel boot options first if needed.
Some that I have to use once in a while:
boot nousb - to turn off USB if not used and it causes problems
boot irqpoll - if some drivers hang with irq problem messages
boot vga=ask - if you have problems with the videomode
boot nodrivers - skip automatic disk driver loading
now I hope u understand so I need my pendrive as in normal form I cant copy/delete anything!!!!

Such a drive can get damaged if mishandled, like disconnecting too quickly, that is removing it before it can safely be done.

As you know, formating it would have erased all the data on it.

A pendrive can also get infected by a virus called USB Virus.

As for the help removing the ip from the blacklist, I really don't understand your question. What does the pen drive related to an IP ?

You seem to be very frustrated about this. Please calm down.

I only wished to know the make of your pendrive and from what I understand it's Trancend. The thread's title has been amended accordingly.

Transcend makes a lot of difference when formating, it's not like any other pendrive.

You wish to format it...

Try this 1.

Click on the below link and try "JetFlash Online Recovery"

http://www.transcendusa.com/products/online_recovery.asp

Follow the step by step instructions.

Good Luck.
