USB Not Recognized

My very important Work USB is no longer Recognized, and just sits there Glowing on and off with the LED.

It is a Lexar S75 256GB type.

I was getting ready to work on a drive in my BLACX Box, and opened MiniTool Partition Editor. I usually remove all USB's but this time I did not. MiniTool Froze, and I shut it down and pulled all USB's and restarted and worked on the External HDD.

Then today I tried to use the USB and it won't be recognized. It does make a noise when I pull it out, and as I said the LED glows on and off constantly.

I have most the Important Stuff Backed up, still lots of really good backed up info on it that I would really like to have. Please please help!

You could probably get the data off of it if you boot into Linux and then insert it into a USB port.

Be sure to unmount it in Linux before you remove it from the USB port, and before you exit from Linux.

Yeah, that was my next move. What I'm really wanting to do it make it readable again, so if I don't get any help here I will try some Linux guys that may be able to fix it for me. I have a Linux Box so will just boot it from there later today.

After getting the data off of it in Linux, you could do a quick format of the drive in Windows.

How if it is not recognized?

Linux don't Mount it either.

I followed this tutorial and it did not work:
If you are using Windows 7 then carry out the following steps to repair the USB Flash Drive:
Insert the USB drive into the USB port of your system.
Go to My Computer>Removable Disk Icon.
Right click the Removable Disk Icon and open its Properties.
Click on the Tools tab.
Click “Rebuild” button.

I also ran this in "cmd" and it would not fix it either.

Code:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

C:\Windows\system32>chkdsk /X /f G:
Cannot open volume for direct access.

C:\Windows\system32>

Not happy with this, I'll never use MiniTool with USB's plugged in again.

Can't Format or anything now, big loss for me, so sad. This is a Fifty Dollar USB at least, on sale. I wonder if Lexar will give me a new one lol.
