It is perhaps a hardware failure with nothing to do. Download Check Flash -- http://mikelab.kiev.ua/index_en.php?page=PROGRAMS/chkflsh_en -- and try to do a full partition cleaning. If it works, reformat your pendrive.

Have you saved the Master Boot Record with Check Flash ? If yes you can restore it to fix the partition table and get rid of this error, else... well, else I know how to fix a partition table using fdisk under Linux, but I don't know how to do it under Windows, sorry, but maybe MBRFix, a free utility can do it. You can download MBRFix here : http://www.sysint.no/products/Download/tabid/536/language/en-US/Default.aspx Read the doc and be careful with this tool if you use it. Good luck.
