Hi Mythili.S,
Could you please tell us what formatting methods you have used? Have you tested the pendrive on another PC?
Try formatting the drive in Safe Mode. I would try lifting the write protection by using the Command Prompt. Type the following commands:
Diskpart
List disk
Select Disk n (n must be drive number)
Attributes Disk (here check if the drive is in Read-only mode)
Attributes disk clear readonly
Exit
Try to access the drive again. Open Disk Management and try to format the drive by right clicking on it. If you get an error message, run the Command Prompt again and type:
Diskpart
List disk
Select disk n (n must be the drive number)
Clean
Format fs=NTFS quick label=pendrive
This way you should be able to format it in NTFS file system. If you need FAT32, simply write it down instead of NTFS.
Hope this helps
