I tried to make a bootable windows drive with a 16GB flash drive and an error occurred making the drive unrecognizable by the system. I've tried all ports of the pc and not worked, tried all ports in another computer and nothing. The GParted not recognize it too.
Here is my system info:

The drive is bootable but when I start the pc, the grub recovery opens and says that the file system is unknown. Typing ls shows some partitions like (hd,msdos5) and (hd,0). Typing ls (hd,msdos5) shows that it is ext4 but with hd,0 is unknown. Can someone help me figure how to format it?

The tool used to create the install drive was WoeUSB command line. The attributes was the following:
woeusb --tgt-fs NTFS --device ISO_PATH /dev/sdb
After the execution, an error occurred and some files related to GRUB wasn't copied into the media.
I removed the media without "eject" it from system.
EDIT 2:
I have tried mkusb and it cant recognize the pendrive. Here is the output:
Select version of mkusb (d/e/n/b/q) d dus 12.3.9 Live drive, that is booted from: /dev/sda No suitable target device found p_target: target=/dev/ No target device or bad target device p_clean: wipe the first Mibibyte Live drive, that is booted from: /dev/sda No suitable target device found p_target: target=/dev/ No target device or bad target device p_clean: wipe the whole device - it can take very long time Live drive, that is booted from: /dev/sda No suitable target device found p_target: target=/dev/ No target device or bad target device p_clean: clean if necessary and return clean if necessary and quit
The fact that the pendrive is still bootable and in the grub rescue the ls command list some of it's partitions I believe that it is still alive. But the system or any tool can't see it. Only the lsusb and drivers see the device. Maybe there is another way to format the pendrive.
sudo lsblk -fandsudo lsblk -mand edit the original question to show the result.
