partitioning - USB drive completely broken after iso burn. How to fix?

So, I attempted to burn an image of Elementary os to an 8gb flash drive. The image was about 1gb. This appears to have created a 1gb partition on the drive with the rest as unallocated space. That is only the first problem. The 1gb partition is seemingly corrupt. I cannot format it, or even resize it to fill the whole drive. I was thinking that I could restore the flash drive to it's original state by burning a blank 8gb image to it. But, alas, I have no clue where to get / how to make one of those. Can someone help me restore this drive to a blank ntfs, fat32, or exfat filesystem. Thanks in advance. Let me know if I should put more info up, and what info to put up.


(I know I'm kinda stupid for not creating a backup image, but I am still a noob in need of assistance)
