Fix the USB error "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive X"

Question

I have a 32GB USB Pen Drive which has gone dead (USB drive unusable, unformattable, and reporting 0 bytes capacity). It is not accessible through any OS. When I insert it into my Windows machine and try to open it, it pops up the following message

"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive X."

I've tried almost everything, but can't fix it. What I've tried until now:

1. Change Drive Letter and Path - http://www.verbatim.com/index/support.php?cat=14&action=support_questions&pid=5467&aid=165
2. Re-installed the USB Controllers in windows
3. Tried changing the DisableOnSoftRemove vale in regedit - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2830154
4. Tried a number of software utilities for windows that helps in force formatting a pen drive.

Further, I tried using the Disks program from the dash as well (in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS). It shows up my USB Flash drive when I plug it in, but I can't format it or mount it anyhow. Here are the screenshots for the same:- When I Click on the Edit Mount Options, the following Windows pops up:

Is there any way I can recover my Pen Drive back?

PS:- I do not want the contents, just I want to make my USB drive work again.

If you can get a copy of Hyrens Boot you might be able to repair it using the partition wizard. Not sure where you can find a copy of it unfortunately. I got a bootable copy from a buddy of mine who mounted it on a USB.

Note: To use Hyrens Boot you have to boot it from BIOS
