The following procedures will destroy all the data in your pendrive
CASE 1: you can use a unix system
Plug the usb driver in a pc with unix operatig system.
Open a terminal, hit
dmesgand see if the device is recognized by the system and how the device is named by the sistem
For example, in this case the pendrive is sdb:
[ 7218.966183] sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0
[ 7219.131947] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] 15138814 512-byte logical blocks: (7.75 GB/7.22 GiB)
[ 7219.132428] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off
[ 7219.132433] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 21 00 00 00
[ 7219.132893] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA
[ 7219.137459] sdb: sdb1 sdb2
[ 7219.139079] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
If you see like above, keep the pendrive plugged in and hit:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
sync
At the end of the procedure (cursor is returned by
sync), plug your pendrive in any pc and format with a file system (FAT32 or NTFS for example are the most common for windows users).
CASE 2: you have to use windows
If windows is not able to mount the usb drive because of its file system, but the device is recognized, you don't see listed in the file explorer. In this case you can use a software like this http://hddguru.com/software/HDD-LLF-Low-Level-Format-Tool/ to perform a low level format of your usb drive.

1) Q is tagged Windows 2) If the USB were detected it would get assigned a /dev/sdX device, since it may not be detected there may be no /dev/sdX device to write to.
