I have 15GB Kingston flash drive. It is not detected in Ubuntu 12.04 and remains hung up in Windows too. sudo fdisk -l output:
WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'!
The util fdisk doesn't support GPT.

So, how to access my pendrive?

It seems to be your pendrive partition is corrupted or USB stick is damaged and bad for use.Try formatting pendrive. – Renju Chandran chingath – 2013-11-25T13:04:50.360
I tried formatting my drive using disk utility. It gives me following: Error creating filesystem with Details [Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/sdb: Input/output error] – user2410785 – 2013-11-25T15:04:34.393
Try using GParted instead – Lawrence – 2013-11-26T00:40:56.737
