flash drive showing as unallocated

Hi,

I am pluging my usb flash drive and i cannot open it. When i try to do fdisk -l it is not showing and in gparted it is showing as unallocated and with 1mb disk size.

when doing lsusb it shows that the usb is plugged in:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 058f:1234 Alcor Micro Corp. Flash Drive

Tries to use testdisk but I am unable to find the drive anywhere.

Do you have any ideas??

thanks!

 

Is the drive maybe encrypted?

 

and what says `dmesg` when you plug it in ?

 

As far as i know the usb is not encrypted

dmesg output after I connect/disconnect:
