Topic: pendrive unable to format usin gparted,also not mounted in any OS
I have a pen-drive Transcend USB 3.0 with 16 GB storage capacity. It's file system probably corrupted because of improper ejecting out manually while the data was being written. Since then, I have tried inserting that into all 4 usb-ports of my computer(Linux Centos 7), it doesn't mount it. Other pendrives are easily being mounted automatically.
Then, I changed ports and checked if that'd work, but failed. So, I tried formatting it with gparted into ntfs type(previously also it was formatted in ntfs type),but sometimes it doesn't recognise. Once, when Gparted recognised it, I tried formatting, but, I get the following error while formatting:-

Also, I am unable to mount it as /dev/sdb1, it says no such device/file. I tried to achieve some tools in Windows 8 too, but, there also this pen-drive is not being recognised.
This is my first post here, please help me to format my usb-device. Thanks in Advance...
