Also you might have to edit the registry:

Press Winkey + R (or just open the Run from Start menu). Type regedit and hit enter.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

Now in the right pane double-click the key WriteProtect. Now set the Value Data to 0 (zero) and press OK.
Exit Registry and restart your PC.

---

If it's missing, do this:

Create the key StorageDevicePolicies if it does not exist. Select the Control key and right-click it. Select New > Key and name it StorageDevicePolicies. Then in the right pane right click and select Dword (32-bit) or (64-bit) Value from the context menu and name the entry WriteProtect.

Double-click the new entry afterwards in the right pane and change the value from 0 to 1. 1 disables writing to all connected USB devices. 0 enables it.

Exit regedit and restart your computer.

The other thing you can try is create and boot into gparted live and use that to format it.

I did the registry thing but nothing, it think I would need some sort of program to fix it.
