Yesterday I made my flash drive Ubuntu bootable using Rufus. The operation of making it bootable was successful but when I ejected the flash drive from that computer it stopped working. It is not showing up in the Boot Menu or My Computer or Disk Management in any computer.

I can only see the flash drive in the Device Manager as Unknown USB Device(Device Descriptor Request Failed).

Is there any way to fix my flash drive?

Try it in another computer. Does it behave the same way? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Apr 12 '17 at 19:01
Do you have a Windows computer available? You could try using 'Diskpart' to delete and reformat. – Eric W. Apr 12 '17 at 21:09
Tried in 3 computers all running Windows 10. Diskpart doesnt show that flash drive in the **disk list** – Dev Java Apr 13 '17 at 10:12
