    scan your pen drive with updated anti-virus. I think there is virus in your pen drive.

    What is the make or model of the pen drive you have? What if you connect your pen drive to the computer and then go to my computer and then select the same pen drive and right click on it and then quick format it into either ntfs or fat32 file format. Does it gives the same issue or by following this method it gets solved?

    Search and download the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool from google and try to format the corrupted pen drive that you have which can't be done by windows xp. It also lets you to create a FAT32 volume larger than 32 GB. Hope that helps you out.
