wine users - Dec 2011 - Formatting USB memory device.

I recently deleted my boot camp partition, typically I'm in a situation
where I would like to run a .exe file.

a brand new USB pen I bought will not let me write files or format it. Only
allowing me to read it.

It's a 16gb HP model that I think has been manufactured by PNY electronics. 
I have discovered an exe. from PNY that people in other forums claim can
re-format the device.

I have tried Wine but feel hesitant. I don't want to re format my Mac. The
program it loads doesn't seem very functional. The drop down menu in the
program doesn't show any drives.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I could just use a windows computer to
try to fix the USB stick but would like to achieve this using Wine.

If it's brand new, why don't you just take it back for a refund or
exchange?

I would not attempt to run any disk formatting software under Wine.
