Not able to Format iBall USB Drive

[PratikV]

Dear All,

I have been trying to format one of my iBall Cordial 8GB pen drive but when i do that it says the disk is write protected.
1) I tried the registry settings as well as low level formatting.
Do you have any idea how can i proceed with it or do i dump it.
There are few folders which has garbage names. Please check the attachment
