I have found this topic already: http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/18317-help-bootable-usb-disc-back-normal-usb.html
but it did not solve my problem.
I followed the directions on this tutorial: Install Windows 7 From USB Drive/Pen Drive
to make my 8GB flash drive bootable to put W7 on my sister's computer which has a DVD drive that won't read my W7 DVDs for some reason.
Now I need to return my USB flash drive to normal, except that it only shows up as a disk drive. I can't right click and format it as the computer wants me to insert a disk to format. I am also unable to format the flash drive using Disk Management, where it is also showing up as a disk drive, but with no media inserted. What am I missing? I hope I have not forever ruined this flash drive.
