you will be able to format it in the safe mode then. btw, if u dont have a virus guard, install one and do a full system scan. include your removable hardware to the scan as well

    Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and "Task Manager", and check in the "Applications" and "Processes" tab, anything called "Auto Run" from your pen drive ("H" drive) is running!

    If you find such a process close it! then try again!

    ye there was a file called auto run
    your pen drive, as well as your pc now has a virus. get them both scanned using a good AV.
    Alternatively, plug the pen drive to a linux system and get it formatted or reboot your own pc with a linux live cd and format the pen drive from that.
