2. Insert USB Memory Stick into your laptop or Computer

3. Turn on computer and then immediately start pressing (F8) key then Advanced Boot Options screen will come up (if windows8 then open run, and type msconfig here please click boot tab and select 'safe boot' with minimal option only. click ok and reboot your system.)

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

or, in this safe mode, use diskpart tool and try format it.
