Fixing USB Drive

My old pendrive get corrupted. I've used it to install ArchLinux and needed it repartitioned back as regular pendrive. Unfortunately using "always working" HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool corrupted the drive on my Windows 8.1 box. It just seemed to remove partition table, but drive was not visible on Windows and Drive Manager was unable to format it. Here what I did to recover it (note diskpart was started from elevated command line): Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600] (c) 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
