What exactly does "it cannot be formatted" mean?

With the drive plugged in, try Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Storage > Disk Management. Toward the bottom of the screen there should be a stripe somewhere for your flash drive. Right click on that stripe and go to Format. Make sure you pick NTFS and check "quick format."

Obligatory Warning: MAKE SURE YOU USE THE STRIPE FOR YOUR FLASH DRIVE. IF YOU DO THIS ON THE WRONG DRIVE YOU WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA ON THAT DRIVE.
