Balena etcher corrupted my pen drive. Or I think so. Because It was a new pendrive and after I flashed a windows 10 in my usb pendrive and opened this pc. I was not able to find my usb.

i tried this method but it continues to state thst there is no media in the usb drive. I was flashing batocera to usb via balena etcher and recieved an error message at 99%. now no matter what i do I can not access the drive. when i run disk psrt and run the clean command it does not detect the usb drive. HELP!!! this is a brand new 128gb high speed drive that just got trashed.
