Have you read any of the previous replies in this thread?

"can any one please suggest that why it is displaying such error.."

It's broken.

"can any help me to resolve this issue???"

Yes, return it.   http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5232/~/return-material-authorization-(rma)-process

""Have you read any of the previous replies in this thread? "

Obviously not.

BEFORE YOU RETURN IT

If you have windows....

run command.com (just do a search for it it will be there)

In the old school command line box that no one seams to care about anymore type

chkdsk e: /F /X

where e: is the drive letter assigned to your usb stick.

Wait for a few minuites at most and you will probably have a perfectly writeable usb stick even if no errors were found.

Worth a try to saves days of waiting for a replacement in the mail or a trip into town.
