The message which you are facing while formatting your flash drive maybe be due to below reasons. 1) It could be due to virus. Try to scan your flash drive with your anti-virus and check. 2) Second reason would be when you connecting your flash drive it may include some autorun files which starts its own when you connect your flash drive and because that file is running it wont allow to be formatted, so try to delete all the files including in your flash drive and than try formatting. or There is right protect switch on many pen drives , a physical write protect switch which enables you to either allow writing on the disk or disallow writing on the disk.
All you need to do is toggle the right protect switch and you would be able to write files on your pen drive. Please find an image below for more information.

Maybe your flash drive has this functionality the same as floppy diskette. And that is the write protect function. All you have to do, is to locate the adjustable part on your flash drive just like the diskette.
If you are still having issues, please do not hesitate to comment back.
put your model name of your pen drive and search ... you will get the software to remove write protection.. install that software and remove write protection..
thats all...
This should be easy to do with WinXP Pro. Right-click the drive and select Property, followed by choosing the Security tab, within which you can modify the level of protection you choose. WinXP Home, on the contrary, lacks this feature. However, you can still bring up the security tab when you boot up into the Safe Mode (Google "Safe Mode procedure" for info).
Some usb drives/flash drives have a little switch that locks it and makes it read only to avoid accidentally losing important files. Try looking for a small switch somewhere on the case of the drive and switch it to the other position if you find it.
