I have a 32Gb USB stick that is not showing up gparted.

I insert it and I see it in /dev as sdb.  No partitions.

I tried fdisk:

# fdisk -l /dev/sdb
fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdb: No medium found


Is this dead?  Is there some other tool I can use to get it working?  If
there was ever anything on the drive, it would only be a copy of
something, so nothing to try and recover.  Other than a nice 32G USB stick.

thanks!

       Did you check dmesg for error messages associated with it?

just reinserted it and checked out dmesg:
