Just curious, what was the result of trying hdparm -r0?

Would you like to try another thing to save the pendrive? See this link

Assuming you have GPARTED,
Go to the partitions tables, and select the USB partition and as you used an unsawp the swap partition.
Now open the disks utility and select the USB again, then select analyse/verify depending on the version. If you have any errors, try to delete all partition tables and create only 1 full with FAT32 file system and repeat the 2nd step.
If the error persist, you may have a faulty USB disk.
I haven't tried the hdparm thing yet, but i will try after the gparted suggestion and windows utility suggestion. I hope they work.
Also, I don't run a company (at least not yet), but I help anyone who needs it. That and I like to have tools. I suppose you could say I would like to be a "Tony Stark" (IronMan) of computers, although I will try to develop a miniature fusion reactor and a suit to utilize it (I am not kidding, but it will be awhile).
Anyway, I will try the suggestions and let you guys know. Thanks again.

The SSS_MP thing is russian, but I found a download for english. However, I apparently need to know the SSS of my usb. How do I find out or will the latest SSS_MP thing work?

I guess its trial and error time.

Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/sdd.
The operation has completed successfully.
Now, it still won't have a filesystem, but the partititions are set up, and the GPT table should have been recreated.
If this didn't work, the device is broken. I hope this does solve your problem.
To put a filesystem back on, use a tool like gparted.

If you have a windows box (hate saying this), plug the jump drive in and in MY COMPUTER right click and select check for errors, make sure to allow to fix errors too. You should not lose any data, but anything can happen. This will take some time as the jump drive is huge. Good luck!
Vandorjw suggestion results:
gdisk /dev/sdb
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.1
NOTE: Write test failed with error number 30. It will be impossible to save
changes to this disk's partition table!
EBR signature for logical partition invalid; read 0xD569, but should be 0xAA55
Error reading logical partitions! List may be truncated!
Partition table scan:
MBR: MBR only
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: not present
************************************************** *************
Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format.
THIS OPERATION IS POTENTIALLY DESTRUCTIVE! Exit by typing 'q' if
you don't want to convert your MBR partitions to GPT format!

Any ideas. Not really sure what i am looking at.
