There are a lot of possible causes for this kind of USB not formatted error such as the drive is severely corrupted after years' of usage or due to improper operation (strong plug-out of a pc while in data transfer), damaged FAT file system, not compatible with your current PC (if this is the first time you connect it to the computer) etc.
The first option can be - try the problematic USB drive on another computer, possibly running a different operating system, see if this will help.
