Hello Tharik BT,
Can you tell me what type of commands have you been performing in order to get your pendrive formatted? Have tried the following command:
1. Open command prompt
2. Type the following:
attrib -s -h -r X: /*.* / s / d Then hit "Enter" and wait about 30 seconds
Be careful! Respect the spaces between words and script. Change the letter X with that has been assigned to the USB device to your PC (that you can see it in My Computer. It can be anything, depends on each computer.)
3. Finally, browse the flash drive and delete the recycle folder and if there is another one called "Autorun" you have to delete that too.
You could try formatting the USB drive via a data recovery software. There are many all over the Internet - ones are paid and others are free. Scan your external flash memory with an antivirus and antimalware software also.
Keep me posted what happened with the tests.
Good luck with that.
