I have 3 USB disks (newly purchased, original) which were used to create bootable drives to install zorin os in a pc. The flashing failed for some reason, and now I have 3 drives which look like this in Disk Management -

In order to get my drives back to normal, after watching a bunch of videos/reading articles, I have tried the below so far -

• First tried creating a simple volume, with default settings in the wizard; then I got a popup saying "Volume was created but not formatted", and then it would try to run format, and I received "the system cannot find the specified file type".
  • Went to diskpart, tried list disk > select disk # > clean/clean all; then it would say "Diskpart error, access denied. Check system logs." It would delete the created volume in the last step, but showed the access denied error. Also this is what was recorded in system logs - Cannot zero sectors on disk \\?\PhysicalDrive2. Error code: 5@0101000F.
  • Then started command prompt as administrator, still the exact same error. Using admin cmd should solve the access denied error right? why is this happening?
• My drives just won't format, tried from both manual format (from This PC & disk management) & diskpart format...
• On This PC, when I try to open any of the drives it says "Please insert a disk in E:" (for eg.)

All of the above has been tried on 2 separate PCs, same error on both, even if cmd is in admin mode. What should I do? I just want to convert my drives back to normal, so I can use them to transfer data around like before. Kindly advice... Thanks!

UPDATE: When I select a drive like this:

This is what I see:

I have 3 USB drives which look like this in Disk Management -

These were used as bootable drives before, but due to some error/failure with balena etcher all 3 of them broke due to some reason. So far I've tried cleaning them using diskpart in cmd admin, and changed their letters from diskmgmt. Also, here's how they look like on This PC & Diskpart -

Actually these were brand new pendrives which were supposed to be used for flashing Zorin OS iso image file, which i was going to use to install zorin os in dual boot with windows 10. I tried flashing these drives using balena etcher, but after flashing they disappeared from This PC & were showing no media in diskmgmt & even wont act as a bootable drive when pc restarted, I think something broke in these. So I cleaned them & now want to convert them back to normal, data-transfer drives like they were never used. There is no data of mine which I want to backup/restore in them, so I am open to complete formatting/resetting these drives back to normal.

What should I do in order to get these back working as a normal usb drive? Kindly advice... Thanks!

Edit - If I try to create a simple volume for any drive, this is how it goes - I created a volume with below configuration for one of the drives -

& received these popups after -

After both popups it looks like this in Disk Management & This PC -

Edit - If I try to create a simple volume for any drive, this is how it goes - I created a volume with this configuration for one of the drives, & received this Volume created but format failed popup first and then this System cannot find specified file popup.

After both popups it looks like this in Disk Management & This PC now. (sorry for too many images)
