USB Pen Drive not working after the format process got interrupted in between?

Q. I have hp v112b pen drive. I tried to format it, but the power went off accidentally in the middle of the format. Now, if I insert pen drive to the system, it shows contents of the pen drive, but I am not able to use the pen drive at all and the windows explorer hangs indefinitely if i click on the USB Icon in My Computer. Please suggest a solution to revive back the contents of the USB and make it working normally again!

A. Use a Linux machine to recover the files and format the pen drive to FAT 32 file system.

A. Whether you can boot from your USB pen drive or not depends entirely on your motherboard.

Have you set your computer to boot from it in the BIOS? Double check.
