Pen drive help

August 6th, 2016

I accidentally made my usb drive into a recovery partition while trying to install windows 8 from that usb drive & now I cant use this drive!!!
is there any way to change this or have i permanently lost my 16gb pen drive?
I tried deleting the files but only 2 folders were present. The windows 8 setup is hidden…even after enabling the option show hidden drives & folders its still not showing & the pen drive is loading as a partition not as a pen drive
