    USB Drive Not Mounting- Startup Disk Creator

    I tried to create a Live USB using Startup Disk Creator . In that process I clicked the "Erase Disk" button (thinking it will format my USB Drive ) and my USB Drive does not seem to be working anymore. On trying
    Code:
    sudo parted -l
    The output was

    Code:
    Model: SanDisk Cruzer (scsi)Disk /dev/sdb: 4022MB
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
    Partition Table: msdos
    
    
    Number  Start  End  Size  Type  File system  Flags
    
    
    
    
    Warning: Unable to open /dev/sr1 read-write (Read-only file system).  /dev/sr1
    has been opened read-only.
    Error: /dev/sr1: unrecognised disk label
    Can someone help me with this ?

    Install Gparted:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install gparted
    Open Gparted. Select your USB Sandisk. In the gparted menu, go to 'Device' and 'create a new Partition Table'... Apply changes. Then recreate a partition.

    Ok I recreated the partition and applied the changes using GParted. Now my Pendrive is getting detected (which is good),but i am not able to send files to it (which is bad). Am I missing out anything ?

    It should work. Try again. If not, then use Unetbootin.
