Problem with USB Thumb Drive Formatting

[Keith]

I have a USB thumb drive that I can not create a new partition table to 
or format. It says that there is an error that the drive is 512 bytes 
when the driver says it should be 2048 bytes. Any one know how to fix 
this? The drive is 8GB not 29GB.

Here is the GPATED output:
