    Precisely.

    I say format.

    And when you do format, choose NTFS. Do not choose FAT, FAT32, exFAT or anything with FAT in it.

    depends upon whether the stick is defective and how defective.

    Just do it.

    You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

    One last option to consider, and it depends on the value of the data on the USB drive. SANDISK does a paid USB recovery tool. You can run the trial to see if it can read the data. If it can, you can make a decision on whether its worth it to purchase or not:

    I'll bet you a dollar to a donut that the recovery program does not work.

    Any takers?
