Why is it not possible to restore the flash drive?
Hello everyone
. I formatted a flash drive through the disk utility, on which there was live Linux and everything was covered with a copper basin. Now I can't restore it.
When I connect, the Mac gives out:
The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer
Error repairing map: MediaKit reports bad partition or no map found

Try using the dd utility to zero out the first megabyte
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/diskX bs=1M count=1
First you need to determine the vid and pid, as well as the manufacturer and model of the flash drive. Find a program to service such a flash drive and use it to try to restore. For some flash drives, you can read the settings bin file from a similar working flash drive and load it into a non-working one, and then try to restore, etc. As a rule, the network is full of information on recovery.
