Windows Unable to complete the format

There is not much you can do. Your pendrive is dead. I have lost almost 3 pendrives to this exact error. There are some recovery present in the website such :

1. Sandisk's Recovery

2. HP USB Recovery Flash Drive

3. Kingston Media Recover

The above link might help you out but chances are less. Although if you have a Transcend then you are unlucky as out of 3 two were transcend ( One was 16 GB :'( ). You can go to the website where you can download the Online recovery tool.

4. JetFlash Online Recovery

I would be more than happy if you recover your pendrive. If you do please share the info with all of us.

PS: Please do not remove the drive directly from next time and do not run high profile programs such as iso files and media files directly from the pendrive.

Thank you.

    I am using windows 7 in my machine.

    My pendrive got corrupted while i was using it.

    so i just removed the pen drive, then again when i inserted my pendrive it was showing as some other unrecognized format..

    so i just started the formatting the pen drive.after few minutes it gave an error.

    WINDOWS WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE FORMAT

      Use Linex OS to format your pen drive
