what is your pendrive model?
Try one of this steps:
1) give it a try
alex's coding playground » Download
2) HDD LLF Low Level Format. Download it, then low-level-format your USB flash drive, then format it again normally using windows format tool.
After you LLF your USB drive, do not use windows quick format, just use the full format.
3) Insert the usb drive
Right click on my computer and select manage
In it SELECT DEVICE MANAGER THEN PORTABLE DEVICES SELECT YOUR USB
Then Driver and in that disable and also uninstall.
Then reinsert the usb.
And then try to format again.
4)If you have another PC, try it in that one. if all steps fail,
I think the Stick may be bad
