OK, if the light works and you can see it to "try" to partition it, then you haven't destroyed it. Use cfdisk again and delete all of the partitions that cfdisk shows it has. Then choose "write" in cfdisk. This will leave you with only freespace. Windows or Linux can deal with freespace. Now you can use cfdisk to create a new, single partition. Make a bootable Windows 95 FAT16 partition, and write it again. Now you still need to format it. You can format it as FAT16 in either Windows or Linux. Since you are familiar with Windows, then you might just want to use that, however, it's not hard in Linux.
Open a terminal and type sudo su and enter to get into super user /administrator mode. Then type mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 if your pendrive is sda1. There is a page in the DSL Wiki that explains how to set up your pen drive's geometry, if you need it.
