Hello Niraj,
Besides the Windows tool for formatting, have you tried to format the USB drive through a software for data recovery purposes? If not, try it. There are many programs within the Internet – some of them are paid and others are free. If they don't help you, then you could try to access the data using Linux Live USB / CD. Within the Ubuntu forum you can see the steps how to make a bootable flash. Once you have downloaded the .iso file, change the boot priority on the computer where the USB is placed. It is done through the BIOS and you must change the boot priority to be from USB ports and not the HDD. When it boots from the PC, you have to click on try option and not on the option to install the OS.
Have a nice weekend.
