I was copying Garuda Linux iso (arch based linux distro) using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, on my 64Gb pen-drive and the copying stopped at 99%. I tried canceling the operation and copy pasted again, overriding the left over part from previous attempt, operation didn't completed and my pendrive was ejected automatically,i removed the drive and inserted it again and now it shows "No Media" and isn't recognised by ubuntu as well as windows in their respective file managers. It shows as "NAND Drive" in disks in ubuntu and storage management in windows. How can i fix it ? ( it doesn't matter if data on the drive is lost in the process, i need the drive functional again. )

First, use this command to find your drive:

sudo fdisk -l

It will show you the disks that are on your system. Try to find your flash drive. It can be named /dev/sdc, for example.

Now try formatting the device. You can do that using Gparted (GUI) or commands like:

sudo umount *your/device*

sudo mkfs -t FAT32 your/device

See if it fixes.

Further, I recommend using Balena Etcher to make a bootable drive, if that was what you were trying to do.
