I have this small, 3.77 GB flash drive on me that I'm trying to get working, since according to GParted there isn't even a partition table set up for the unallocated space. I guess the drive is also write protected because when I select Devices-> Create partition table-> MSDos, I get an error saying "Can't write to /dev/sdb, because it is opened read-only." and "Error while creating partition table." Please help if you can, thanks!

If you used dd or an installer that used dd to create flash drive install drive, then it is a hybrid DVD/flash drive. You have to erase beginning of drive. See: help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb#Re-use_the_pendrive

In my experience, unlike gparted, the disks utility is able to create a partition table in that case. You may have to reboot before creating partitions.
