In Windows, go to Disk Management (Right-click on My Computer and then on Manage) on any computer whilst the pen drive is plugged in and check if it shows up in there.

If not, go to the Device Manager from the Control Panel, right-click on the Disk Drives node and select Scan for Hardware Changes if the device isn't in the listing. After clicking on Scan for Hardware Changes, if the USB device appears, it should also appear in Disk Management. You should then be able to format the pen driver from Disk Management.
