did u try HP USB disk format utility. If your drive is not lost, it can format the drive. else all is gone.. google for it and install it, its a useful utility.

Re: Pen Drive Corrupted

Where did you buy this Pen Drive in question from? Did you get a proper bill with warranty?

I think it could be a fake.
