I have a 32GB USB Drive that has Windows 8 recovery on it, but Ubuntu no wonder will not recognize the USB Drive when I put it in the computer. I no longer have Windows but would really like to find a way to wipe out this Flash Drive so I can use all 32GB for my Ubuntu backup instead.

In Ubuntu there is a program for partitioning called Gparted (under administration). Just repartition the USB drive to FAT32

From command shell, execute "sudo fdisk -l". You should see your primary hard drive as e.g. /dev/sda, and your USB drive. Do you see it?
