Check Windows Journal for read/write errors when attempting to access the stick. If USB stick cannot write, then it is damaged, and you cannot fix it, only throw it away.
You can also try ValiDrive tool (free) from Steve Gibson at grc.com. This tool with verify if stick can read and write properly.
