Question corrupted pen drive

[joao_6821]

I made a bootable pendrive the first time and it was recognized by the bios and I went to Linux Mint demonstration mode.
during, it wasn't working and only the terminal was working, then I used sudo reboot to forcefully exit demo mode and go to Windows, and then after using sudo reboot I took out the battery to turn it off and exit completely, then I came back for windows. After that I went again and my pendrive stopped being recognized by the bios, but it is recognized by the good disk manager and the good file manager too, I can format and do everything on it, but it is not recognized by the bios and My computer doesn't have secure boot or fast bios and I can't update the bios. What can I do to make the pendrive recognized and what could have happened?

If I understand your post correctly you have a USB thumb drive. You installed a Linux distro on that USB drive and now PC won't see it or are you saying while your in Windows the USB drive seems MIA when you plug it in.

Windows won't see a USB drive with a Linux OS installer on it. You plug it in and nothing.

If this is what is happening you can use Rufus and format it back to fat 32 and Windows will be able to use it again.

It was like this, I made the bootable pendrive the first time and it was recognized by the bios, and everything went fine, during the Linux installation it gave an error so I went and took the battery out of the notebook to exit because it gave an error and I wanted to exit Linux to go to Windows again, then when I went into bios again to do it all over again, it stopped being recognized. But it continues to be recognized for disk management and file management. And I did what you asked but it didn't work 🙁, it still doesn't get recognized.

Try a low-level format and re-burn the image to the drive. After the low-level format actually if it's not even recognized it may have gotten cooked depending on what stage it was at when you unplugged it.

then I went to install Linux, then during the demo mode there was an error so I went and took the battery out of the notebook to exit because there was an error and I wanted to exit Linux to go to Windows again

Okay so than how far did the install of Linux go. It sounds like you pulled the plug regardless of the error if you were installing Linux it would have killed the Windows you had previously on the notebook. I'm really trying to understand correctly what happened so we can help.

In fact, I didn't even start the installation, in Linux demo mode I didn't even press the CD to actually install Linux, but in demo mode my touchpad wasn't working, so I went and removed the battery to go back to Windows.
