Try it on another usb port..or If the windows can't format try formatting it from the command prompt if it's not working than must be pendrive.. i think there's no problem with other pendrives.. or the one that you have

if window is unable to format try to format it using some utility software like hp disc format utility
download link

Restart your PC and try it again or try it on other PCs. If problem persists then pen drive is defective. Return to retailer and ask for a replacement.

Format it again but using FAT file system not NTFS

XP has a stupid feature like that. If you did format with the XP style, try to do it manually.

My computer > Locate your usb pendrive >Rightclick and Format.

If this don't work, your pendrive might just be malfunctioning. Replace it if you can, or upgrade to external harddrive.

Format it using a format utility which you can download it from any free software sites, type in format utility.

your pedrive contains {Autorun} virus that's why you are unable to format it to view this virus go to view option in control panel then view and tick the show hidden file and folder

you can remove this virus
install malwarebytes and scan your pendrive
when you remove the virus format your pendrive

IF it not works
I think you use windows xp that's why it happen

Try to format in windows vista .or in windows 7
