Ubuntu – USB memory stick is no longer recognized as a drive

mountusb

I have a USB memory stick that used to work perfectly fine, but then I made a mistake while trying to install a disk image onto it and now no computer recognizes that it is a memory drive. It doesn't mount, and fdisk doesn't recognize it. However lsusb recognizes it. Output of fdisk -l

It may be important to note that I know that the usb port works, and that the same problem occurs on other computers and other operating systems.
