The command failed with error -71 after only 1024 bytes were sent. This happened consistently, every time the computer tried to write to the drive. -71 is a low-level hardware error. It means the flash drive isn't working right. You can try formatting it on a different computer, to rule out the possibility of a problem in your computer's USB controller. But if that doesn't work either then I think the drive is hopeless -- it can be read but not written.
