how to recover the usb key with nvoc installed ? can't format this :-(

thanks

On windows I'm assuming, easy way is this way

Launch command line in administrator status
type "diskpart"
list disk (find the one that is your USB key
select disk # (# is the one you see from the list disk)
clean
Go to computer management it will now show up to format, click on it new simple format.
Profit!

I use this windows GUI tool for wiping thumb drives.   Make sure you check the box for "perform quick wipe."  

It's from HDD Guru, the same folks who make the HDD Raw Copy Tool imaging software OP recommends.

i don't like anything that has so many tiers and trials and shit - looks sketchy as hell.

just use rufus it's been used for years to wipe drives and proven track record of being safe

I like rufus; I have used it for years, it can also be used to image the USB.  

I think the hddRawCopy tool, is easier to use for members who have less experience imaging; there are also a lot of members who are already familiar with it from smOS.

I use an img format for the image; specifically to enable the use of most imaging programs.

This one is also easy to use and is available for mac / linux and windows:
