Re: Can not format USB ( Pen Drive ) !

you could try it with gnome-disk-utility (name in menu: "Disks"). When this program is opened: select the correct device, press unmount (in F17 it's the button with the square), the delete button, and then 'More actions...'->'Format...'

I have tried to format that with " Disks " but also get the same error, but a little extended:

HTML Code:
Error creating file system: Command-line `mkntfs -f -F -L "usb" "/dev/sdc1"' exited with non-zero exit status 1:
stdout: `Cluster size has been automatically set to 4096 bytes.
Creating NTFS volume structures.
'
stderr: `Failed to sync device /dev/sdc1: Input/output error
Syncing device. FAILED' (udisks-error-quark, 0)
Thank you !
