The basic command actually is mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1
vfat is a filesystem for pendrive and is mostly used because it is the filesystem through which u can access the pendrive in linux as well as in windows
The /dev/sdb1 is the address of my pendrive which i have seen after sing the more command.So see accordingly and change the address in the command respectively in your computer.
The Problem i faced while doing this was that mkfs.vfat command was not found.
So when i did some googling i found out that all this things are actually in a package called dostools .
So while in su(super user mode or root) i installed the package dostools by
urpmi dostools
and this installed the dostools package and i found the missing package installed.
So Finally learnt to format a pendrive.
