That happend to me. Try downloading "Low level format tool" and install that. Picked mine up and allowed me to re-format the flash drive. Just make sure you select the usb stick and not your HDD or you'll wipe the lot!

google ext2 volume manager and see if that can see it when plugged in, if so you should be able to remove the formatting type and then treat it as a new drive, it was the only thing that could see my 4TB HDD when my WD My Cloud crashed and I needed to recover the data.
