Hi @Misslauraxx,
A warm welcome to the Sony Online Community! The issue has to do with the type of partitioning which your USB sticks have. Formatting does not change the partitioning type. My suggestion is to to use Diskpart from a command prompt* on a Windows PC and execute the commands below one at the time. If you get the disk number wrong in the [select disk #] command, you could entirely erase your PC. So pay attention to the disk sizes in the list and find the right number corresponding to your pendrive.
diskpart
list disk
select disk TYPE_THE_DISK_NUMBER_CORRESPONDING_TO_THE_PENDRIVE_FROM_PREVIOUS_COMMAND_HERE
clean
convert mbr
create partition primary offset=1024
format fs=fat32 quick label=FAT32
assign letter=s
active
exit
You then can copy files to the pendrive and use it with your TV. Note that the varied use of the pendrive in certain computers or electronic devices can occasionally make the pendrive inaccessible for the TV again.
Keep us posted!
Cheers,
Dutchice
