You can format it if you don't have any important data in there.

I got this message : Write Protected.

Does the device have a little slide lock switch? If so, slide it off of lock. If not, give us the exact make and model of flash disk. Usually this happens when you don't use the remove hardware safely option. You have tried going to Computer management-Disk management to format? (you will lose everything on the disk, but it sounds like that is already a done deal). This is where you get the write protected issue? A Guy

Do a google search for HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool.
