I have two machines. One is runing kali and the other one windows. I used rufus to create a bootable usb of windows 10 but something interrupted the operation and now i cant detect the flash drive with anything. Not rufus, not even diskpart on cmd lists the usb flash drive. When i plug it on the kali machine also it doesnt show the device. But with the lsblk command i get this output:

NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 465.8G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 461.9G 0 part /
└─sda5 8:5 0 3.9G 0 part [SWAP]
sdb 8:16 1 15.1G 0 disk
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom

Now when i disconnect the usb flash drive sdb dissapears and this one also has the same size of the usb so im assuming it is said drive. Problem is this is the only thing that recognizes it, as i said not even diskpart shows me the unit.
How do i get it back?. Thank you.
 


G'day @Ruben999 and welcome to linux.org :)

Do you have GParted installed, if so, have you tried it to reformat the stick?
