Try this: go to this link: http://hddguru.com/, and download this tool: hdd low level format tool. It's a shareware version but will do. Install it, run, choose USB, do a low level format and then do a format.
Hope this will help.
Good luck.

there are no tools for convert RAW, you can do this with DISKPART over CMD

I'm having this problem also, after a good hour messing about with things (knowing what the terms meant I read from various other sites/people/forums on this issue, although I must admit I was pretty much clueless on what some of them did..) I got to disk management firstly and noticed it said RAW. with nowhere near the amount of space I knew it had in it as I have only xbox game saves on it and it's a sandisk 30gb cruzr edge. I noticed after doing something in control panel (including but probably not the thing that changed its capacity) disabling and uninstalling, restarting, reinstall and enabling, It then said I had 29.00GB, the correct space on it and I then right clicked and hit format (still in disk management) and it said in the box that says healthy underneath it, formatting then after about 2 minutes a 0% appeared (in same box), looked like it wasn't changing but left it 10 minutes and it was then below 10%.

I think you have it but you just have to wait a ridiculous amount of time for it to work.. I'm leaving my computer on overnight to do it.

I did Low Level Format, the hddguru LLF tool works apparentely well,
but my 32 GB pendrive is still un-formattable.

Any other solution?

Thanks
