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!

Hi Robert,

Do you have any virtual machines running?  If so,
they may be attaching to the USB flash drive.
If so, the host system won't see them.

Also try

   ls -al /dev/sd*

maybe it is not mounting on /dev/sdb.

And worst come to worst, boot off a Fedora Flash
drive and see if your drive in question mounts.
