Unable to Use/Format 4GB HP USB Drive
When I plug it in, it says it needs to be Formatted, when I try to Format it says that it can't.
Any ideas?

Specific wording of error you get when trying to format it? A Guy
hit the start buttom and type cmd.exe in the search box and hit ctrl+shift+enter to get administrator command line,when prompt press yes, or enter administrative credentials in the UAC pop up box.
at the command prompt line, type format <drive letter> : /FS:FAT32
Yeah none of the Command Prompt stuff ever works for me. EVER. call I get is C:/Users/Josh that's all.
EDIT: I blew into the USB Port, and now it works.
Actually, it's not as daft as it seems. It could be a build up of dust or other foreign matter on the contacts which is preventing a clean connection. Blowing into the socket helps to remove such stuff.
