USB MBR Damaged
10,945
You can try getting it fixed with TestDisk. It worked for me. Here is what I did to get it done.
First, you need to download TestDisk, and run it. Connect the USB Drive and select Analyse disk. Select Rebuild MBR
, and Write Boot
Another thing you can try to fix the MBR:
Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:
sudo apt-get install mbr
fdisk -l to find out which device is your flash drive
install-mbr /dev/sdx (replacing x with your flash device)

I installed Ubuntu 13.04 on usb as live CD . I accidently removed the usb while the computer was running and after then i couldn't boot from USB. Tried other linux versions too nothing helped. IS there a way to fix the MBR of USB.

Cosmin Saveanu about 2 yearsTestDisk did not work in my case (could not write to a faulty USB disk). However, installing the mbr, as advised, worked and allowed recovery of the unusable disk.
