Hello Arnan,
Can you please, give me more detailed info regarding the problem with the pen drive that you have? Where does the pen drive give you this type of error - on your laptop or a desktop PC? Have you checked the USB flash on another PC to see if it will present the same error?
If you haven't tried with the Command prompt tool in Windows, I suggest you to do so. Please, check on these steps:
1. Open command prompt
2. Type the following:
attrib -h -r -s /s /d X:\*.* Then hit "Enter" and wait about for some seconds
Be careful! Respect the spaces between words and script. Change the letter X with that has been assigned to the USB device on 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.
Let me know if that helped you. Have a nice weekend.
