Hello!
So I have this brand new USB stick that I want to use, but as i plug it in it says it needs to be formated. I then try to format it, but it cannot format. The stick is basically unusable in this state.
Please help.

That's probably the solution, it's bad and needs to be exchanged.

Try it in a different computer. If it does the same thing, points to a bad USB stick.
