while creating windows to go out of my usb stick(creating portable windows) , an error was thrown saying iso extraction for some reason failed, so my usb was probably thrown out with some state. Now, in ubuntu, only the disk utility lists the usb:
enter image description here as you can see, I can't create partition, edit partition, and also, trying to eject the drive gives me this error:
enter image description here

I tried various solutions in the internet, which suggested using gparted and mkusb, but, they both don't detect this drive for some reason:
Gparted:

Mkusb:
enter image description here enter image description here

lsblk outputs this:
enter image description here

lsusb outputs this:
enter image description here

Any fix for this?

EDIT: Just a thought, it seems that pendrive might have some software that they come with, I think that is blown by what I did, can we install an opensource available thing to make it work or something? Please give me pointers on how.

You can analyze the problem according to [this link](https://askubuntu.com/questions/144852/cant-format-my-usb-drive-i-have-already-tried-with-mkdosfs-and-gparted/933035#933035), and if you are lucky, find a solution. There is a list in the link with tips, that you can try when the drive is read-only: mechanical switch, reboot, disconnect other USB devices, try other USB ports, try another computer, try another operating system. If you are lucky, one of the tips may work to make the USB drive work.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
