Could I boot an instance of linux off another flash drive? I have never used linux.

My friend borrowed my flash drive (Sandisk Micro Cruzer U3) and when he returned it he said it was broken. I plugged it in but my U3 didn't start. I went to My Computer to find that I have two CD drives only. Somehow the whole flash drive part of the drive is missing and the only part left is the emulated cd drive. I also can not format the drive. Any help restoring the drive to working order?

when i plug it in a cd drive shows up. It does not have the U3 logo on it, but if i go into hardware it shows up as a U3 Cd drive. How do i access disk manager in windows 7....? Thanks for your help.

I had tried that but once agian it said that their was no disk please insert a disk. But thanks for your help.

Help please! I ran universal customizer on my U3 flash drive and no when i put it in my comp it lights up and the computer will show up a removable disk but when i click on it it says their is no disk entered please insert a disk. I have all the folders backed up, is their any way to restore my flash drive or am i screwed? Please help me Thanks In advance for your responses.
