Why did you mess with it in the first place. They work find as is.
partition. In W*, they are pretty useless, as one has no chance to
deactivate the "cd-lookalike" drive which installs and runs some unwanted
software.
to luismg:
find the devicename, where the flash is connected (most of the
time /dev/sda) and try this (as root):
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=1024
after completion, the partition table and the file system is destroyed.
remove and replug the stick to notify the OS of this fact.
Then repartition and reformat the device.
Attention: if /dev/sda is your root device, you have the chance to verify
the completeness of your system backup :-)
