When I used a dd command on my usb to make it bootable, the dd command said there wasn't any space left. So I tried again, but it said "/dev/sda/: no medium found". However, if I connect my usb, the lsblk command does show a /dev/sda, and if I disconnect it, the sda in lsblk disappears. The kernel also recognises my usb, as dmesg shows me.

However, fdisk doesn't see my flash drive.
I believe I somehow bricked my usb drive, using that dd command, and I was wondering if there was any way I could recover it. It is also worth saying that I'm using Artix linux with runit as the init system.
I also tried to format the drive with mkfs, but it also returned "no medium found".
Thank you!
