I left the drive in the port and did a restart. The progress bar stopped at about 1/4" from the right end, and stayed there for an hour before I cancelled the format. Feeling I should do a full format after my mishap, I started one. So I immediately did a Quick Format in My Computer. When I realized I made a mistake, I looked at the drive's Properties. At some point, I removed it from the USB port without paying attention to whether it was in use, i.e. Before the problem started, when I first checked the drive in My Computer, Properties, I saw 384 KB used space, a typical value on all of my flash drives. The drive was in my Lenovo laptop's USB 3.0 port. There's a story behind how this occurred. My PNY 128GB USB3.0 flash drive ( light grey / dark grey version with a sli ding sleeve ) can't be formatted, because it's write protected.
