If you want to reuse the flash drive afterwards you need to partition and format it again, as when writing the image the contents of the stick will be overwritten.

How did you format it exactly, and did you recreate the partition table, as already mentioned above?

FWIW for years to "zero out" a usb stick on Mandriva/Mageia I
use gparted. Delete all partitions. It only takes a few seconds.
Then I use the dd command to write the ISO to the usb stick.
"DISK BOOT FAILURE - INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER"
is my friend
