First try to see your volumes by writing

fdisk -l

This will show your volumes. When you see /dev/sdb (and its partition sdb1), run the following commands to format your drive

umount /dev/sdb1 mkfs.vfat -n 'pendrive-name' -I /dev/sdb1

After that you may eject the drive with

sudo eject /dev/sdb

Now again insert the drive and the pendrive will be visible.
