First.
1 Have you the ability to boot from a LIVE LINUX Knoppix distro?
2 If so check each USB stick with GParted from Knoppix.
3 Then it should show how USB disk is partitioned and what if any flags
are set.
4. Check those that work ok , and those that do not work and see the
difference.
5 See if any retain the maker's own programs, usually a ".exe" file for
Windows and other Windows stuff.
6 Do they show any 'Low Level Formatting' program by maker
Quote
Summary: Low level format tool helps low-level format a whole HDD, OR
USB drive; OR and memory card, for the purpose of formatting a bootable
drive, *repairing track 0 bad*, removing write protection, computer
virus and troubleshooting Windows when Windows was unable to complete
the format.
unquote
This is based on the USB sticks being originally formatted for use in
Windows OS.
If working with this THEN REMOVE your normal hard drive from system, you
cannot afford to make a mistake. Thus you only have Live Knoppix distro,
and USB stick attached to machine as drives.
