Get gparted and use it to take a look. Lots of USB drives have some wonky trick they use.

I got a problem. This new drive won't format. Linux saw it when I first plugged it in. I then tried copying some files to it which resulted in an error appearing after 5-10 minutes telling me to open windows and run 'chkdsk \f' on the device. Then I plugged it into windows10 and couldn't figure out how to open a terminal so I decided to format it. But it wouldn't format. When I attempt to it flashes twice a second for a little then a long flash then again quickly. So I figured I would attempt the format with Linux but Linux doesn't see the drive now so no formatting with it. Can someone help?
