I can't make a partition for the whole drive... Or format it simply. It's the removable one.

Have you tried to format it in my computer? 

Yep. It say's it's unable to complete the format, and doesn't pick up the storage space or other values.

EDIT: Now, since it's not formatted, it's not sshowing up in my computer. Only in disk management.

Were you using the USB for anything such as memtest86? 

I've used it a bunch of times as a bootable drive for linux, including Ubuntu and a disk cloner.

Nevermind, tried Diskpart via command line and fixed it. But how else would I solve it in future, since this is my main USB I use for booting ISOs?
