I got the solution..
as it is said in howtogeek, we can install gparted and select the device that needed to be recoverd and format it again as ntfs or ext3/ext4. The link provided above gives explanation regarding how to format a usb drive in ubuntu using gparted.
Hope this answer would be helpful to the community.
I appreciate the correction@guiverc
