You did not likely format the USB drive at the same time you reformatted the OS. Try this. Remove the USB device from your computer. Then, shut your system completely down. Restart you computer. After it boots all the way back to Windows, reattach the USB drive. You system should then detect the USB drive and install (if needed) the drivers for it. Good luck!

diskpart.exe in start menu search
open computer management and choose "disk management" in the left pane
your hard disk is usually named "disk 0" so the usb will be named "disk 1" unless yo have another hard disk
the other hard disk will be disk 1 and your usb will be disk 2
when diskpart cmd opens type "select disk 1" without quotes or whatever the number of the usb drive shown in the disk management
type "clean" without quotes
exit the diskpart CMD
then right click on your usb drive shown in "computer" and click format
choose the format you want and you are done

update your driver & try check disk utility chkdsk f: /f /x /r

If its a windows system that is giving this error and if u have tried it on other windows machine, with same result....then try to plug this usb drive into a linux OS machine like ubuntu, kali linux, redhat any one. Perhaps u will find it readable again and copy ur data.

The installed OS has nothing to do with the USB flash drive/ sd card being unreadable
It depends on if the hardware is not damaged (the usb flash drive or the usb port)
And if the system format is readable by your OS (you can't use drives formatted with NTFS on linux *without a 3rd party driver* and you use read ext formatted drives on Windows *without a 3rd driver*)
The file system may be damaged and may be fixed if you reformat it
And it may be unallocated and requires you to create a partition for it to be reusable again
