1. Shutdown your computer or laptop
2. Insert USB Memory Stick into your laptop or Computer
3. Turn on laptop and then immediately start pressing (F8) key then Advanced Boot Options screen will come up
4. Select Safe Mode with Command Prompt
5. After loading files if your USB Memory Stick drive letter is (G) for example then write as
6. C:\windows\system32>G: and press enter
7. G:\>format G: and press enter
8. If ask you (Y/N) then press (Y) and press enter

Hi, where and when was the Pendrive bought? (Shop or a friend)
 
Try This:

Go to run command (press windows key and r key together once) and type regedit and press enter.

Go here

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies >> Change value (on the right side) for "WriteProtect" to 1 (default 0).
 
if your pendrive is transcend made then use their utility like "OnLineRecovery" with internet connection... this stupid problems only occurs in transcend pendrives ( i think, because i have faced this )

Ok, please tell me till which in the following entry it is available in XP.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

If everything is there except "StorageDevicePolicies" then you may create it.

“WriteProtect”=dword:00000001
