8/12/2012 3:33:28 PM Format Error occurred at offset 181,534,720: 1117 - Device I/O error

and it programme is running...
Its already about two hours and only 5% is completed.
Does this make my pen drive workable??I am running the programme with this hope..

No. Based on the symptoms you report, then the LLF tool will not fix your drive, IMHO.
