Hi there tvteja,

Which attribute commands have you tried?
Have you used the manufacturers formatting tool? In case there is not one, you can try some third party one as well.
Also, you can try the drive on another system. I guess it will not hurt to use a different format as well.

Let me know how this goes,

Hi D_Know_WD
I googled and tried these following different options
1.attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* (assume here g is drive letter of Pendrive) ->Not Woking
2.Using Disk Part (I deleted partition and created new primary partition) ->Not Working
3.Using Official HP Format Tool (It shows format fails, I tried NTFS and FAT32 in this tool)(Not Quick Format)->Both r not working
4.Using Disk Managment(Not Quick Format) -> it's working I mean format success but again whenever re-plugged Pendrive into PC and copied some data, then the problem rising again(Most of Media files r not visible, some files are visible like RAR format files but those files are corrupted).

[It showing exFAT under explorer(My computer) and FAT system under Disk Management ]

Note: My PC is virus free and I tried same steps in different computers but not solved.
Please help me

Well, as even the brand specific tool is not working, I believe the flash drive is failing. 🙁
You will most probably need to replace it. In case it is under warranty, you can just RMA it.
