    Try F:\ in Run Command to open.
    Where F is pen drive location.

    If it doesn't work then try using pen drive on other computer and u will know it is corrupt or not,if not then format .
    Best of luck.

    try badcopy to recover the files and then format http://www.jufsoft.com/badcopy/download.asp

    or right click the pen drive and select properties click tools tab select error check and tick both boxes and then click start

    The best is to try your USB flash drive on another computer. If you get the same error message, then probably your flash drive is corrupted. You can however try to recover your data with data recovery software.
