    How did you try formatting it? did you go thru administrative Tools\computer management\diskmanagement? or just right click on the drive in my computer?

    Who is the maker of the flash drive? and are you certain there is no switch on it? the switches are so tiny on some models they are easy to miss.

    While researching your problem I found that some manufacturer's have stated that when the drive does as you say your is. it is a sign that the drive has failed. is yours still under warranty?

    you mean one of those sticks with sram on it? in that case you're probably experience the effects of static shock, which is fairly common and wipes out these so called keyring drives.
