Try out the following steps in order to check whether your USB Pen drive is not damage.

1) Check your pen drive whether it is working or not.

2) Check your USB port is working or not.

3) Check in BIOS whethre you can see your USB enable or not.

4) If all the above three steps seems to be Ok, then it might be the problem with your Windows.
