formating a USB which is throwing error write delayed

Hello,
while i was saving a web file directing on to usb location there was some network problem which result in error WRITE DELAYED on windows xp.
so pen drive is not getting completely formated(show as Windows was unable to complete format).From then onwords it is not allowing to copy or delete data from the pen drive.I thought of format it on linux.
Referring to previous issue i used fdisk -l there i can see usb has /dev/sda1 with FAT32 file system after that what i have to do Can any one explain steps to format it.
I want to known whether this pen drive is damaged or it can be recovered?please guide me.I gone through visible forums in this site but i cannot get the relevant step to follow.thanks in advance.
Regards
Amarnath

lsusb(8)							Linux USB Utilities							  lsusb(8)

NAME
lsusb - list all USB devices SYNOPSIS
lsusb [options] DESCRIPTION
lsusb is a utility for displaying information about all USB buses in the system and all devices connected to them. To make use of all the features of this program, you need to have Linux kernel 2.3.15 or newer which supports the /proc/bus/usb interface. OPTIONS
-v Tells lsusb to be verbose and display detailed information about all devices. -vv Tells lsusb to be very verbose and display even more information (actually everything the PCI device is able to tell). -s [[<bus>]:][<devnum>]] Show only devices in specified bus and devnum. -d [<vendor>]:[<product>] Show only devices with specified vendor and product ID. Both ID's are given in hexadecimal and may be omitted. -p <procpath> Use another path instead of /proc/bus/usb. -D <device> Do not scan the /proc/bus/usb directory, instead display only information if the device whose device file is given. -t Tells lsusb to dump the physical USB device hierarchy as a tree. FILES
/usr/share/hwdata/usb.ids A list of all known USB ID's (vendors, products, classes, subclasses and protocols). /proc/bus/usb An interface to USB devices provided by the post-2.3.15 Linux kernels. Contains per-bus subdirectories with per-device files and a devices file containing a list of all USB devices. SEE ALSO
