Embarrassing it is, I've got the same problem with my Kingmax 4Gb pendrive. ><
However after reasonable amount of researching I've came across a few posts stating that this problem could be solved by low level formatting it...
there are a few tools which can low level format a Flash drive, one of which is...

http://hddguru.com/software/HDD-LLF-Low-Level-Format-Tool/HDDLLFsetup.4.25.exe

I suggest that you try it out... unfortunately It didn't work out for me... :(
the tool did not recognize my usb flash drive...
Just let me know if it works for you..... :)
