My flash drive cannot be Formatted

Hello,



Eveytime I insert my flash drive into my laptop, it says it needs to be formatted. I click the format button on the properties, it says Windows cannot complete the fomat. I tried the "disk management" but it doesnt also work (formatting did not complete successfully. Also tried the cmd thing, it says the disk is raw (I have no idea what it means).

Though, my laptop reads my flash drive consistently, but everytime I look into its properties, my flash drive has 0 bytes (used and free) BUT when I tried the disk management, my flash drive has 14Gb free. It's confusing.

I don't know what to do. It's the only flash drive I have and I cannot afford to buy a new one. (student) It's a 16GB Kingston flash drive. Can someone please help me? Thank you so much and God Bless!
